So to answer the question that no-one else asked but I'l answer anyway (got a bit of time on my hands)..!
Lochs and Glens was completely doable on a road bike. This was during summertime though and I travelled super-light. That said, it was really slow going as I had to be cautious not to puncture so definitely would have been more enjoyable (and probably faster) on of a gravel or CX bike which I stupidly decided not to take as I thought it would be too "slow and heavy." Ugh!
Anyway, here are a few pics to get an idea of the ground conditions. This was the worst of it, which you can see isn't that bad....
