One point I'd make is plan your fuel stops - once you hit the more rural parts of Scotland (esp once north of Perth area), it isn't always easy to find fuel stations (esp if you're running late-ish or get behind schedule), and they can be expensive too - I were in Thurso a couple of months back and the fuel that far up was £1.44 / litre; by contrast, a motorway service station near Newcastle was £1.37 / litre (wouldn't like to say what it is atm) - allow for that in your budget, and a spare can might be a wise move too.
