I will be going to Kenmore near Loch Tay at the end of the month and will have about three days to do some hillwalking. Looking at the maps it seems I am spoilt for choice so plan to choose hills that have nice views and/or have interesting geological scenery or have a nice peaceful remote setting. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like to bag a few Munros but this is not essential. I have one walk lined up which is a circuit around Loch an Daimh; can anyone recommend two more?

A traverse of the lawyers munros is a good day out. Leave a car/bike at the visitor centre and start from the hotel. Should be quiet & peaceful until ben lawyers.

There are the four Munros of the Carn Mairg Group in Glen Lyon or further west than Mike suggets Meall nan Tarmachan and taking in its ridge and Munro Tops.

I guess the only problem you might have with Carn Mairg is that its stalking season?
Meall nan Tarmachan is a great day out though with Killin nicely placed for a bite to eat afterwards.

Shouldn't really be a problem - look at the estate boundaries on Andy W's Whoownsscotland web site (Oh, sorry, he got torpedoed by the OS, and all the useful mapping has been taken down - you'll just have to take my word for it!) and you'll see that if you go round anti-clockwise, you are pretty well on the march, out of sight of the deer, all morning, and only come down and cross ground where you might interfere with stalking on the descent from Carn Gorm.
It is a lovely day out, but if you chose it, add an extra half hour in at the beginning to read ALL of the signs on the gate, and be very careful to go round anti-clockwise!

This is not a daytrip (more a brief Sunday afternoon bimble): a gorge & waterfalls I like a lot: Falls of Acharn, just a couple of miles down the road along the South side of Loch Tay.
The first time I came across them (unplanned, didn't know they were there) was at the end of a longer walk on that side of the loch. No Munros but pleasant walking on a day when the clouds are low. And there is a stone circle according to Google, though I can't remember seeing it.

Add another vote for this: a cracking day out.
