Default Scotland road trip tips?

As international travel rules are so fluid at the moment, it seems the perfect time for a domestic road trip (sadly not in an S8, but a new Ford Ranger).

From past annual meets, it's clear that many of you have the knowledge of excellent driving roads and attractions up in Scotland. As a loose route over 4 or 5 days beginning on 19th July, we're thinking of the following:

- Begin from home in Essex up to Edinburgh
- Edinburgh to Inverness and Aviemore detouring to Loch Ness, up the east coast A9 then A99 to John o' Groats
- West through Thurso and Tongue possibly to Durness, then south to Ullapool, Glenfinnan viaduct and Fort William via some handpicked roads
- South again to Oban, through Loch Lomond and possibly take in some of the Lake District or Yorkshire Dales on the way back down.

Any tips or ideas for roads or attractions greatly appreciated
