Have a look at these routes these are what I plan to do this summer it’s either this or just get off a ferry in France and go for a ride.
Step 1

Step 3

I have two weeks to do this it I cant see it taking two weeks personally at the most ten at 3 to 4 hours riding a day.
Can anyone who's been to these parts of Scotland see any problems with my route?
It's 1500 miles in total. ____________________ VFR800FI, YZF600R Thundercat and FZS 1000 |

Everything North of Loch Lomond is good. Everything South of it apart from the Kelso section isn't but there's little you can do to make the Glasgow/Edinburgh corridor interesting.
Just a suggestion: instead of heading down the A82 all the way to Loch Lomond if you turn off the A82 at Spean Bridge (A86) and head for Newtonmore then Aviemore. It's an easy ride to Tomintoul (A95) and from there over the Lecht (A939) into upper Donside. From there the A944 will take you into Upper Deeside and Braemar then hrough Glenshee. It's a decent road most of the way to Perth. Motorway I'm afraid for a bit but TBH I would rather just get that section out of the way as quickly as possible. I find the Loch Lomond and Drymen section of your 2nd section very tedious as it's always busy.
Just an idea but I hope you enjoy and hope the midges are few and far between |

I live in Ullapool there are some really great single track roads off the main roads that i would recommend, the surfaces are not great but the views make up for that.
Example would be

With the time available, head up via the Yorkshire Dales, A6 & B7076 to Lockerbie, drop down to Dumfries and then take the A76 up to Ayr. Follow the coast to Hunters Quay and cross to Dunoon. The road down to Inveraray and Lochgilphead and then back up the coast to Oban is brilliant
Heading south from Edinburgh, the A68 is quick and relatively scenic, but watch out for speed cameras. |
