I know you said you don't want A roads, but please don't discount the A93, Blairgowrie to Braemar and Ballater to Stonehaven will take you up through Scotland and the Cairngorms. Fantastic road.

Also, you could get lost between Aberdeen and Inverness for days!
Royal Deeside, the whisky trail... You'll have a great time!
