Have fun!

Could you avoid having to move from Edinburgh to Glasgow for 1 night? Glasgow is an easy day trip from Edinburgh and it will be a lot less hassle to stay in the same hotel fro another night. By tour, I assume you mean an organised tour, for which there are several operators out of Edinburgh offering short duration overviews (for that's all they can be) of the rest of the country.

I always struggle to decode what qwovardis is trying to tell us. Presumably his reference to "Butte Argyle" means Bute and Argyle, which is the region of the Scottish Highlands and Islands immediately to the northwest of Glasgow. Loads to see here, but on a short orgasnised tour, you'll have to live with what they can pack in.

"I always struggle to decode what qwovardis is trying to tell us"

even qwo struggles to decode what he means Weird, because on the air travel forum he sometimes actually posts in complete sentences.

I agree w/ Gordon R re staying in Edinburgh and taking a tour from there. In fact, I might eliminate Glasgow from your plans. Are you flying in long haul? If so Day 1 will be exhausting and you'll likely be jet lagged. So you have very little time to explore Edinburgh. Glasgow is great -- but there is so much to see/do in Edinburgh and you really haven't given yourselves much time there.

"Anything Amazing I might be missing and shouldn't? "

Scotland is a very big place and you are missing most of it. Can't be helped since you are only there a few days. So just do Edinburgh and the guided tour and then plan for a longer visit some time in the future. (And no, you really don't have time to visit Rosslyn Chapel it takes about 1/2 a day by public transport.)

I can't really miss Glasgow because the tour we booked depart from Glasgow and ends in Edinburgh, and it starts early so that is why we need to stay the night there. I travel a lot and I don't really get jet lagged, not sure about my boyfriend though,lol. Ths is the tour we will be doing that takes three days, http://www.timberbush-tours.co.uk/glasgow_tours/three_days/skye.html

You suggested skipping Glasgow, is it not worth seeing?

You could easily stay in Edinburgh for half day (day 3) before departing for Glasgow. This should still give you a half day in Glasgow. Glasgow is certainly worth seeing but usually takes second place to Edinburgh. With tour departing early on day 4, this may be your best option. Of course you could also spend all of day 3 in Edinburgh arriving in Glasgow late afternoon/ early evening.

The train from Edinburgh to Glasgow takes about 50 minutes.

Timberbush does the same tour starting and ending in Edinburgh. If it was me, I'd contact Timberbush and see if I could transfer the booking to the one leaving from Edinburgh. It would make sense to stay in Edinburgh and take a tour from there.

Or, assuming you just booked and either didn't pay up front or did pay but it is refundable, you could also checkout Rabbies. Timberbush and Rabbies are both long established, good quality tour companies.

I think you have to factor age in here. Having been to both Glasgow and Edinburgh a few times I think there is no doubt that if you could only visit one then Edinburgh would be the one. But if the choice was maybe, as a young couple, where would you rather have a night out, then I think Glasgow would win easily. The contrast between the cities is excellent and by staying in both you will be able to experience this far more than by just doing a day visit. Therefore I'd definately say don't change your plans and enjoy a great day and night in Glasgow.
