Hike up the Old Man of Storr (sounds like a euphemism, actually a mountain)

See whales and puffins (preferably alive and in their natural habitat, not stuffed in a gift shop)

Try surfing (with life insurance)

Try haggis (spiced organ meat stuffed in a stomach bag—also requires life insurance)

Sample local whisky at distillery (drams)

Have athletic sex with rugged Highland men. (Subcategories for thorough consideration):


Farmer (pros: strong hands, impressive forearms from hay-baling; cons: 4 a.m. wake-up calls for milking)



Fisherman (pros: excellent with rope work, cons: smells like haddock)



Mysterious lighthouse keeper (pros: romantic isolation and brooding potential, cons: possible serial killer)



Must own authentic kilt (tartan pattern negotiable, but no tourist shop polyester)
