Enjoy!
Dores beach is great, as long as you catch it when the local teenage fuckwits aren't littering it with empty bottles and pringles tubes.
Inverness is a depressing shithole. There's a nice woodland walk in Culloden, known locally as 'The Gruffalo Walk' due to the carvings and wood sculptures done by a local artist along the path.
The council recently had to erect anti-vandalism measures around the pieces to dissuade the natives from defacing/setting fire to them, which detracts from the experience somewhat, however.
Nairn is proper lovely if the weather is nice and the Links aren't too busy. Nice walk from the beach along the river to Cawdor Castle if you've got a few hours to spare, too.
Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus are alright, but you'll be fucking sick of Nessie after about 4 minutes.
If you insist on going north of the Kessock Bridge, then steer clear of any settlements on the A9. They get progressively and drastically more grim as you travel Northwards. Wick is basically the result of David Lynch summoning the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft and asking him for advice on town planning.
Definitely visit Glencoe on your way back down the road, though. The Ballachulish Quarry is significantly more scenic than it sounds and the Lochan north of Glencoe Village is fucking spectacular.
The whole place is just bloody lovely, really. Apart from that house where that bloke stayed. Besides that, though...
