Edinburgh is close to Skye, and the Lake District is near Manchester. If you only have one day, Skye is better, but you'll be in a rush. The Highlands depend on which area you're referring to. When I went to the UK in 2015, I went from London all the way to Glasgow, passing through places that can also be called the Highlands.

Where to go to the highlands? If you go to the lake district, it will take six hours there and back. What else to play?
