As I recall, Roughting Linn was the starting point of an excellent tour of quite a few amazing sites up that way, lead by the stupendously generous and knowledgeable Hob (on the way back from our secret honeymoon!) As a first ever visit to a rockart site, you can't go wrong! It's breathtakingly beautiful... I could spend hours there.
Hopefully yer missus will be so taken by it that she won't mind being dragged around the rest of yer itinerary! ;)
We love it up in that neck of the woods (Mrs G is originally from around there) and look forward to getting back up there one day!
Have loadsa fun, won'tcha?

Seriously whetted my appetite, I can't wait to go now. Unfortunately it will be a while before I can get up there though as I've only just been forgiven for diverting our trip to the Cotswolds recently! God, I was nearly dumped.
Sounds like Mr H is the maestro when it comes to these sites and I'm sure I'll be appealing to his generous nature nearer the time for advice. Being a complete rock art virgin I can only imagine what it will be like seeing thses amazing sites especially enhanced by the dramatic landscapes that they're in. BTW do you know if cup and ring/spiral motifs are exclusive to the UK and Ireland as I can't recall seeing/hearing of any on the continent?
Cheers for your help
