Fort Augustus to Inverness on the quiet side of the Loch is one of my favourites, another fairly short but great run is from Drumnadrochit to Beauly.
Dava moor, Nairn to Grantown on Spey is fantastic in either direction.
Struie if you are heading North, from Skiach to Ardgay then up past Spinningdale is a far better option than the A9 and you come out at the north end of the Dornoch bridge where the A9 becomes a bit more interesting, watch out for the camera vans at the Mound just south of Golspie

AKA the 'the old military road'
I run this in the summer in my Lancer. It's what it was built for
(sensibly of course). Also a bikers Mecca.
Take in some of the best scenery this land has to offer and 80 plus miles of fun. A rival for Mr Carters neck of the woods perhaps? Hmmm maybe not....

The B roads - some great little roads .Few years ago I was going up north to Fort William every month for a week ,and possibly every day to Inverness .I got tired of the summertime "scenic gourmets" ( and it took me out closer to New Craig hospital),travelling nose to tail on Ness side and used these roads .Some are almost single track .Took me back a few years .

a/ Do it at night
b/ leave her at the bottom
Tempted, but at night, I miss out on the view.Leave her at bottom,and come back to cold shoulder -NA. I wish I could get a photo of the Mallaig veg hill -it's more like a hill climb site . Must be maximum gradient for a car. Taken her up once, and she said never again . Perhaps that's why the area further on was known as a lover's site . b/ leave her at the bottom
