Fiacaill Coire an t-Sneachda in the Cairngorms could be also be a good one. Or, if you don't mind trying an English scramble, Halls Fell and Sharp Edge, both on Blencathra (Lake District), could be good choices, both rated Grade 1, although Halls Fell is the easier of the two.Another English classic is, of course, Striding Edge on Helvellyn, barely Grade 1, but a great rock ridge for learning to handle exposure. CMD arete is a really great route, and if you don't mind the big day, it isn't too technically demanding, again not really Grade 1.
Everybody's different of course. A friend and I, both experienced solo Grade 1 scramblers and guided In Pinn veterans, did An Stacach between North Goatfell and Goatfell last year. We actually found it quite difficult, as on the way up, the large granite blocks didn't have the positive holds you find on some types of rock, and one descent section was quite tricky, requiring careful micro-navigation. But don't let that put you off, I'm not disagreeing with jmarkb in that you might find it OK. But a third friend on Arran, who'd done Sharp Edge and Jack's Rake (another Lake District Grade1) with us, began the attempt on An Stacach, but then chose not to continue, and took the bypass, finding the initial climb up the granite blocks intimidating.
But definitely give one of the ridges suggested on this thread a go, I'm sure you'll enjoy it and be ready for more. I loved Aonach Eagach and the Forcan Ridge when I did them, so there's no reason why you can't build up to doing things like that with a bit of experience behind you.
