Outer Hebrides and the West Coast of Scotland

Hello all,

I apologise if this is in the wrong area, but the Outer Hebrides is technically overseas albeit not a foreign land.

We are looking to tour the West Coast of Scotland hopefully taking in some time in the Outer Hebrides, we reckon we need two weeks to do it properly and to come home feeling like we have had a holiday, (we are in the Manchester area)  I would love some advice on undertaking this trip, in particular towing in the Hebrides, where to stay and tings to see and do.  I would also like to hear from any of you who have undertaken a trip in this area and you suggested itineries.

Thanks
