Looking for some suggestions on some great secluded scottish beaches. Planning a trip in the autumn. Mainly as just a family holiday but if there happened to be some excellent boulders there too it would be ideal. Does anyone have any knowledge?

Mainly as just a family holiday but if there happened to be some excellent boulders there too it would be ideal. Does anyone have any knowledge?It's quite a large place so give us a clue....North, South, East or the other one? Highlands? Islands?All these places have pros & cons.
Loads of fun coastal bouldering in Scotland, of the ones I have visited...Primrose bay is great with kids. Lovely sandy beach and some fun bouldering. https://www.instagram.com/p/CD814tODlgy/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Also Cummingston is just down the coast with loads more good problems and great rock pooling. Both these venues are generally midge free being on the east coast. Down South in Dumfries Thirlstane is good with kids and has some fun bouldering in a lovely and unique sandstone cave. Garheaugh is also nice however a rocky beach. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg_AzQAh_Qv/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=In the far North Shiegra has a lovely beach at the campsite. The bouldering though is not exactly easily accessible with a v diff downclimb and crossing house sized blocs above some big drops. It is a stunning spot though with some amazing blocs. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEH0gdIjfiK/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
There is also some stiff on the crags and buttresses on and around Polin Beach near Oldshormore. It's always a lot quieter than the main beach.
