From Inverness, I'd cut across to Kylescu and then come down the coast through Lochinver to Ullapool, taking in the Coigach peninsular on your way.

I understand your desire for the A68 and will be a good alternative if you have the time.

My choice would be the A1 instead as it is quicker to get to Edinburgh.

 

 

You can take the M90 from queensferry crossing to Kinross and then divert as in the map

 

My preferred alternative will be taking the A97 then the road to Bridge of Allan then enter Perth by south.

Then you get A93 to Braemar. From there it's pretty much tossing the coin.

Either go right towards Huntly then take the A96 to Inverness or as shown below

 

Loch Ness is better done on it's own. Go south on the A92 then take the B862 at Fort Augustus and back to Inverness.

This will give you plenty of time for breaks and sightseeing around the loch.

 

 

Maybe you get lucky and have a glance at Nessy

From Newcastle to Edinburgh you definitely want to avoid the A1. (Don't miss out on Northumberland in a mad dash to Edinburgh.  Contrary to some opinions its (imo) better by far than some of the Scottish Borders.)

The A1 is pretty boring and not much to look at compared to Bonio's recommendation which is much better.  Also on your way back to Newcastle from Carlisle don't just follow the A69 all the way. Take the Military Road which follows the line of Hadrians Wall.

True the A1 comment but with all the trees that have come down this year you will risk finding closed roads.

And Scots are not known for speeding up roadworks.

I think I have frozen the second path.

The first is New Castle-Glasgow by highway, because I'd arrive early in Glasgow in order to visit it.

The second path -  I'd drive from Glasgow to Galtair, passing throgh Kilkurn Castle and  Fort William.

Do you think Is there some interesting site to visit along this path? Or maybe some deviation which is worth doing?

A9 is wall to wall average speed cameras, its a nice enough road mostly

[S-Westerly]

The A1 is not a fast road - some considerable stretches aren't even dual carriageway.  It has a lot of traffic  especially trucks. Whereas the A68 has a lot less traffic and on a bike especially is quite a fast road.

Have I to pay for the A68 or is it free?

Very few roads in the UK are toll roads. In fact the only one I know of is a section of the M6 which is nowhere near your planned routes. There's a few tunnels, bridges and so-called forest roads which have a toll but not many.

Most people pay to leave Scotland.
