Aberdeenshire hands down for me because of my enchantment with recumbent stone circles. A week is good time to cruise round a few different clusters, especially with a car. Public transport / cycling would require more planning. There's also lots of other ancient stuff. Tomnaverie / Sunhoney / Midmar circles is an excellent day out, with add-ons available such as Culsh souterrain.

Kilmartin Glen is also incredible! Make sure to check when the museum is open. For rock art that would be your first choice. I "did" the main sites over a weekend including walking round the glen in the full moon which was lovely, but a week there would be well spent since there are plenty of other beautiful places nearby such as the Tayvallich peninsula.

Either way you made the right choice!

Thank you so much - I will have a car for getting about.
