Which Islands are you planning to see? You know about the Hopscotch?
The two lenses which I found most useful on the Western Isles are my Planar 35mm and the Biogon 21mm. So make sure to take your 9-18mm. The Sonnar 90mm completes the triplet for me.

I'll be taking 9-18,14-45,45-200 and the 20mm, with a gorillapod all packed neat and tightly in a self customized domke small bag. I was pondering taking my full size tripod but it rather voids the purpose of my mFT configuration. So expect some ground zero perspective shots when lighting fades :/. Maybe if I find it on stock in a local shop, I'll try to get this gimmicky wire tripod Tamrac Zipshot : http://www.zipshottripod.com/index.cfm
It will be the first "nature" trip for my E-P1, looking forward to see how it fares.
Haven't done much planning yet and will use my remaining days to do so but I'm meeting relatives (living in Cleator Moor, Cumbria) first week who would like to go to Arran Island for a starter. After this week I would be on my own and was thinking to try and see a few islands up to Skye if time allows. Haven't done much homeworks so I'm yet to determine how mobility is in Scotland (buses, train, etc...)
What's the Hopscotch? google gave me a link to Island Hopscotch? Any hint welcome <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
