Ideally in Scotland. Looking for routes that I can walk/ski in to, climb with skis on my back then ski off. If a III ice/gully rather than mixed routes preferred.

Things like central gully on Ben Lui but a bit steeper/more interesting.

The trouble with this in Scotland is that it will almost always be crap conditions for either the climbing or the skiing, in fact the 2 are almost mutually exclusive. That said, when it does work it's great.

A bit easier than you want but Angel's ridge might be a good one. Grade I-II mixed with a long approach, traverse over the tops and ski back down to corrour bothy.

I just remembered that there is an alternative start up a waterfall that may fit your needs better.
