Good luck M, lots to explore.
I'd suggest Arran as a closer and quieter alternative to Skye with good driving roads and relative peace. The MX 5 would love it. You can take the ferry from the mainland to get on and leave after a day or two by the ferry on the other side to give access to the beauties of the Kintyre peninsula. You then have options to drive to the very attractive Southern Highlands (Trossachs, Loch Lomond, Tayside etc) or drive up the southern bit of West coast. My brother in law ferry hopped in his Octavia VRS via Arran, Oban and up the Inner Hebrides last year and loved it.
Its years since I've been to the Black Isle and you can take in Deeside or Speyside on the same trip. This minimises use of the awful A9. No fun in the Mazda.
