Scotland for a week late September, where should I go?

[Gloop]

Gonna go take some pictures, sadly won't be doing any shooting as I can't cart my rifle round with me for the week, and I'm not paying those prices. Married a Yorkshire lass, see?.
So taking the auld man up for some photography, already had a few good ideas. Probably base somewhere round Inverness as it will get me to most places.
Planning and John o groats, Helmsdale, Cairngorms, dolphin watching, salmon jumping, if they are about then. Trip to see Nessie. Oh and possibly sneak I to mcleods to peek at second hand scopes.

Looking for Ideas of places to go or stay or must see. He is ok for walking as well providing it is not a forced 25 miler. Well he is 80 odd.
He doesn't drink, how odd for an Irishman? So pouring him into a pub isn't his thing, but I don't mind having one myself. Rural is good. He can get up early in the morning for his constitutional whilst I snore my head off.

Are you aware of the midge problem in that part of the world ?? Google will shed more light on that.

Avon's "skin so soft cream" is the answer; if it's good enough for the Marines you shouldn't be ashamed to use it

midge nets on order and skin so soft will be applied liberally to any protruding orifice and every where else as well.

Skin so soft and nets are out.

Thermacell is the new midge repellent.
