I'm just thinking of the loop: http://www.cairngormsloop.net/map.html
It mostly looks like road or trails, a little off-road but nothing major.

Yep, mainly Landover track with some techy bits thrown in. I always recommend a mountain bike, rigid or hardtail. It just makes it more fun, you can actually rip it down descents, otherwise they are just as much effort as the uphill.
That said, we saw someone pushing their cross bike uphill. Still had a smile of their face. -
I’m definitely doing this on the first weekend in October.
Few more people up for it as well, but the more the merrier
Plans taking shape here
The added bonus is that we can start from my house.
If anyone is in this neck of the woods, give me a shout as I can do a nights acomodation before and after and run folk to and from the sleeper at Pitlochry

The loop is not suitable for gravel bikes unless you are Chris Akrigg , parts are very techy and there is a good amount of HAB. I rode it in September last year and it's bastard hard ! I would say a hard tail or short travel full sus would be best.

Definitely doable but wouldn't recommend it. I rode it rigid on 2.2" tyres and that was ok taking it steady.
