That seems already quite a bit of stuff. I take the 9-18 is the only Olympus lens left in your private zoo.
I tended to cycle, but it seems you want to go by public transport. On Arran there is a bus going around the island (at least there was a few years ago). In general [url="http://www.travelinescotland.com"]http://www.travelinescotland.com[/url] is the place to find out about public transport. The Island Hopscotch is indeed what I suggested. It is a discounted ferry ticket, allowing to move from one Island to the other. Skye is beautiful - breathtaking scenery. Since the bridge was build it is a bit more crowded. I typically like the ones which are harder to get to best: Islay, Harris, Colonsay. From the easy ones, the Mull-Iona trip is perhaps the best. You can do it as a day tour from Oban - special tour ticket incl. ferry bus and second ferry, I don't think you can get this via the traveline web site.

Yes, my kit lens 14-42 was sold to a friend just yesterday... Only 9-18 left. It's a very charming lens but frankly I still think it's no match to panasonic lenses build quality wise. It's definitely a move in the right direction so I'm looking forward to Oly's next lenses.
Cycling would be nice, might consider renting one or borrowing one of my relatives.
Thanks for your hints, much appreciated, it's all noted and I'll look into it and will report my experience if you wish!
