Doddle? If you're happy to drive at an average of 15mph, then yes. Just saying it can take a while. You will be better qualified to judge though having done it. I based my statement on having done it in a smaller car, and still found it very narrow and slow. I would have imagined an A8 requiring more caution than an Audi 80 Avant.

Scenery is amazing though!

Don't think I've tried that one, although I've been to Lochinver a few times, just not that way via Inverkirkaig

Woudn't fancy Applecross road over the top either, that road scares me in any car! Vertigo!
