Not mad at all, purplebean, last summer we went from Bedford to Cornwall, then all the way up to Glencoe, then on to the isle of Skye, then Gairloch and finally back home all the way to Bedford, perfectly normal in my book...

Yes, PB, ferries involved. Despite extra mileage, I tend to use Fishnish - Lochaline (16 minutes) and Corran (5 mins), both non-bookable, than Craignure (book in half an hour beforehand) and a 46 minute crossing. I also almost without failure find myself on the last line to get off the ferry in Oban so end up crawling all the way through to Crianlarich!
Like your lists, careful consultation of the timetable, weather, planned roadworks, footie matches (if heading via Glasgow) and rush hours, both Glasgow and Edinburgh, are vital for me both ways - remember I'm stuck with a ferry deadline at the other end. No m-ways until I hit Stirling if heading SE or the Erskine Bridge if heading to D&G or Carlisle and whichever route there's a lot of slow sections before the motorway. So, whether Oban or Corran, I work on 2.5 hours (without stops, say 2.45 with) to the Erskine bridge and 3 to Stirling.I may be lucky and do it in less, but not in the main tourist season. You can do this, with your planning skills (I'm renowned for ALWAYS forgetting something!!)
tentaddict - awesome respect! Decades ago (before A1M) did NE corner of Essex to Edinburgh in a oner but much younger and had the incentive that my Dad had been seriously injured - he made it and lived another 20 odd years, passing away at 97. I would not deal with that trip now!
