So, I may have a week or so of free time in Scotland next Easter and want to make the most of it. Will have van, but want to do a multi-day trip, weather permitting - light camping or bothies/hostels. Keen to go to Corrour and love Torridon.
Recommendations?
I know it's a way off, but I've not been to Scotland much recently and rarely get a week free from domestics.

It'll still be under feet of snow. I hope... 😉

We did a loop over Beinn A Ghlo and Carn Liath in April last year. Just up the road from Pitlochry. Barely a cloud in the sky. 8)

Carn ban mor in the morning, and Laggan in the afternoon is hard to beat. Really hard to beat.

5 days MTB in t-shirts and shorts this April in Aberdeenshire. Not so well known as the more popular places but in my opinion some of the best natural riding in Scotland.

Awesome 3 day route -
Day 1 Tyndrum to Fort William via west highland way
Day 2 Fort William - great glen to Fort Augustus the Corryarich (spelt wrong) to Kinloch Lagan (stop at pottery bunkhouse)
Day 3 Lagan to Ben Alder cottage via river pattack & bealach dubh (one of the best single tracks in scotland) Ben Alder cottage south to Loch Rannoch (1km of crappy track rest good) road to Rannoch station the 2 stops on train back to Tyndrum

I defy you to find a better 3 day route

That sounds great Ade, I read recently that the Corriyarraick has been given the motorway treatment.
