Since we live in the US, the Britrail Flexipass with 8 travel days seems like the way to go at about $1,300 for two people.
For this sort of itinerary, which is all in Scotland with one journey from London, I would recommend the
Spirit of Scotland Travelpass.
Eight days unlimited travel over 15 consecutive days: £179, which includes train, ferry and bus travel in all the areas you at visiting.
And buy a separate ticket from London to Edinburgh. You can get Advance First Class tickets at a reasonable rate.
