Edinburgh is gorgeous -- the only hotel I know is for work: http://www.malmaison.com/edinburgh/. Then all you need is wheels, hiking boots, and some gentle time... and head for the West Coast or the islands. I agree with him about the Outer Hebrides. We had a great summer one year on the island of Barra. Next year we plan to stay at this hotel in the Isle of Harris: http://www.scaristahouse.com/page12.html

One additional island you might want to consider is Colonsay -- beautiful, remote island in the Inner Hebrides http://www.colonsay.org.uk/intro.html. It is easily reached by ferry. I first went there in 1959. Three years ago we had a great time at Colonsay Island Hotel: http://www.colonsay.org.uk/hotel.html

As you know, the quality of hotels in Scotland is not great outside Edinburgh and Glasgow. But that's more than compensated for by the scenery, the people and the whisky.
