Roads in the Highlands and beyond

[AJI]

From the looks of google street view the roads up in that part of the UK seem to be wide and smooth enough for sports cars.
Anybody driven up and along the top coast of Britain that can vouch for the quality of road?

(Just trying to get ideas for an early summer driving mini-break and thinking of taking my pride an joy).

ah...so its gets a lot of caravans?
But it does look like plenty of overtaking spots.

I am thinking late spring/early summer.....is that when those yellow 'Gorse' bushes are out?

My girlfriend is in to photography and it would add a lot of colour to the pics.

This seems to be the point where is ceases to be two lane road:

Some areas look quite narrow:

In summer time is it a case of 'slow going', having to stop and give way every few hundred metres?
Or is it generally quiet enough to make good progress?

Thanks for the replies so far btw.
