Hi Eveline,
A holiday with a bit of climbing thrown in?
You'll be visiting Edinburgh no doubt. There's really nice low grade bouldering in the South quarry of Salisbury crags which is within walking distance of the city centre. You'll also get lovely views from the top of the crags and even better ones from the top of Arthurs Seat, the hill behind the crags.
If you visit Inverness you could stop off at the Ruthven boulder which is just South of Inverness. You might find it a bit fingery but it's a nice spot and if you're into bird watching Loch Ruthven is worth a visit as well.
If the weather is nice you should visit Assynt which is North of Ullapool, just because it's really beautiful and there are some wonderful hills to walk up. Stac Pollaidh and Suilven in particular. My all time favourite bouldering spot is the little bay just to the North of the main beach at Achmelvich. There's a campsite there but I wouldn't recommend it in high Summer, it's very busy and noisy.
You should really go where the weather is good and it's often drier in the East than the West. Cummingston on the Moray coast, east of Inverness has got good bouldering and a nice walk along the cliff tops.
If you get as far as the North coast then there's some nice bouldering at a beach between Durness and Rispond, it's nice beach too. I'm sure you'd fnd some bouldering on the coast either side of Tongue as well but I've only climbed there, not bouldered.
If the weather's really nice and you get to Skye then take a walk up into Coire Laggan, it's an amazing place with loads of big boulders strewn around.
Have a nice trip and don't worry about the midges. I've climbed in Scotland for more than 40 years and can only remember being chased from the crag twice, just make sure you've got some repellent like Smidge and maybe a net to put over your head.
