Very basic, rough idea for my trip this Autumn, tell me what you think..

[Majestic58]

Ok.... So I'm planning a trip this September-January and this is the super basic outline.. let me know what you think... This will be my first backpacking trip AND my first trip to Europe.. VERY excited... But I could definitely use the extra knowledge you guys have to make it good... Your opinions on "too much time here" or "you might want an extra day there" are greatly appreciated.... After all the days I have lined out, I have seven extra... let me know if there are places they should go.. Also... The two groups that probably make the least sense (5 days in Dunkeld, Scotland and 4 days in Limoges, France) are to visit family... So that's why I'm spending all those days in seemingly strange spots. Let me know what you think!
