Would agree...
I'm from Spean Bridge originally. Loch lomond side is good, but plenty tourist coaches, better avoiding the Oban loop and going through Glenco and then to Skye via Invergarry. Great road up over the top. I would agree to go to Carbost in Skye for Talisker, the manager used to be a family friend when I was a kid so I spent most holidays up there... May have given me the redcurrant drinking problem!! One other option you may not have considered is the loop from Corran ferry (just past Onlich/Ballachulish) and then via Acharacle on the A861 before joining the A830 back to Mallaig. Plenty of it single track but very few tourists, some decent bits for a blast and great scenery... The options are endless of course!
