Durness to Blairgowrie – what is the best direct route

Soon I will be travelling from Durness to Blairgowrie, then returning back up the Durness in the evening.

The Inverness to Blairgowrie section looks straighforward.

But there looks like a few options for the Inverness to Durness leg

I am sure some of you lot are familiar with the roads north west of inverness

I am looking for the easy roads, not the ones with the best scenery.

What is the best route ?

A google map link would be good.

Cheers

Think this is the most straight forward route

Used to live up in Thurso.

For me from Inverness go to Bonar Bridge, then Lairg, then a choice either up the strath to Tounge, then via Loch Eriboll to Durness. Or from Lairg up side of Loch Shin to Laxford Bridge then Durness.

Me - I would go up one route, then return the other to make it a bit more intertesing.
Whatever yo do keep an eye on the fuel gauge not too many fuel stops.

Either road North of Lairg is a somewhat amazing desolation and watch for the sheep!!
