Looks good, familiar with a lot of those roads. My only comment would be to head to Nairn and follow the tourist route to Inverness. You'll love Braemar to Grantown, awesome!! My local playground. Enjoy.

Would love to do it in the Zed though.

I've got a very similar route planned for mid May. Doing it over 7 days, can't wait!
This is what I had planned from Inverness back to Glasgow following recommendations from Pistonheads, might be of use?

Make sure you take plenty of photos.

Have a great time Ullapool and the roads about the area are ace (if maintained) Balloch is close to Glasgow so you can sample some of the cities best points.
