Monique, it would be best if you narrow your options and preferences. Do you want an urban or rural experience? Train travel or coach (bus)? Museums or nightclubs. This forum has a wide range of advice to offer, but you have to help us help you. I can help with the Southwest of Scotland, (or those places I've visite), others have much more to offer. Six weeks is a long time, but the four places you have listed could take 40 years each to explore. I can't wait to hear what you discover, have a grand time!

I have tried to e-mail you two documents, each with some inserts on England, Wales and Scotland [notes and URLs on some of my favourite areas} but the first one has just been returned with address unknown and I expect the second shortly. If you want them, send me an e-mail and I will try to insert them by return - it usually works.
