NC500 ( North Coast 500 miles route) is the way to go, inverness is also nice as Britain's last north city!!
We did the NC500 back in September 2019 in the 75. Was beautiful all the way around and I'd do it again in a heartbeat and set more time aside next time.

Especially fond memories of Sheigra beach - I asked my partner to marry me on the rocks there, she was completely unsuspecting until she turned around from looking out over the water and I was on one knee. Happiest day of my life until my daughter was born just over a year later.

Here's the 75 parked near by on that day:

Mike Brewer is another one that slams doors by anything apart from the door handle. They get a freshly painted car back in his TV shows, and the first thing he does when he sees it is rub his hands over the top.

He is a typical car dealer. It’s a piece of metal that’s all to them, oh and profit.
