West Highlands, Scotland. What to see, what to avoid?

Will be flying next month from the Shetland Islands to Inverness and will be there for 3 days. Is it best to rent a car? Thanks in advance.

Definitely avoid. At least they're not like the feral Pasties we get in Cornwall - vicious brutes they are

No concern about driving, folks lovely as is scenery. May check map to refresh recollection and be more helpful.

for two days and one day in Glencoe. Or should I stay 3 days in Skye and drive to Glencoe for the day? I have already figured out I need a car to get around.
