I would also add a couple of unusual destinations - thatchey roofey villages in Scotland no less - to the list (but this is dangerous stuff - reference the Cinque Terre post-Steves.)
Fortingall - reputed birthplace of Pontius Pilate, home of amazing ancient Yew tree. Add in a drive up Glen Lyon and you've got a fine day.
Swanston - within the city of Edinburgh, part way up the Pentland Hills behind the city. RL Stevenson dwelt here, very attractive whitewashed cottages. A walk in the hills from/to Swanston is a grand day if the weather cooperates.
I would also mention Gifford, in the Lammermuir Hills of East Lothian - a fine planned village with a nice town green. You can make an excellent day "loop" drive from Edinburgh over the Lammermuirs to the coast, returning via the coastal towns (Dunbar etc.) to the city.
