any ideas for the Scotish Highlands

Alright, looking for ideas again,
Fly into heathrow and then heading up to scotland, was planning on a beeline to Aberdeen to meet up with a friend for a day or so and then making our way back down to Glasgow to catch a cheap ryan air flight to Paris.
we fly into LHR on a red eye, arriving Mon morn’ and have to meet people in paris the following Sat or Sun.
Would like to see Edinbourough, and maybe catch a high level football match but that is about it, and am wondering how the best way to pass the week is.
Any Help much appreciated

arriving the end of april
The Highlands are more to the west, where I am pretty sure all of Scotland’s munros (mountains over 3,000 feet) are situated. Glen Coe is on that side.
After Aberdeen, maybe you could head over to Inverness; this would probably be a good place to find a football game (Loch Ness is touristy but you can do that too.)
But for high level football maybe Glasgow is your best bet? It’s a good place to visit for a couple days IMHO.
If you would like to see a distillery and taste Scotch whisky, stop at the little town of Pitlochry and go to the tiny Edradour distillery.
If you care for castles and history much, Stirling is a must-see. I think its castle is way cooler than the one in Edinburgh.
But Edinburgh is certainly worth seeing.
