Highland aviation at Inverness do a beach landing course and also a mountain flying course intended for more experienced pilots. I believe it's the only place in the UK that does beach landing courses.
I just flew down the side of Hoy with my girlfriend and an instructor. 350 metre cliffs with waterfalls down the sides; seas raging below... Hard to beat. Also a fan of the oil rigs near Invergordon and the castle at Lochindorb. I'd personally tend to fly down the coast, which avoids most of the military airspace (which often isn't in use), and which means that cloud at 2000 feet is much less of an issue.
