A nice alternative to what you have could be from Kinbrace to take road to Syre > Altnahara > Crask Inn > Lairg
That's a really good suggestion. Would keep me away from the A9 and temptations of trains back to Inverness, plus something to look forward to for the second half, going through the wild, empty interior.
Surprisingly, it is only 1.5km longer, and slightly less climbing: I think I'll do that.

Crask Inn is definitely worth stopping by at for a refuel too. Soups are amazing and owners most friendly.
The Kinbrace to Syre road will also take you by Britain's most remote hotel - Garvault House
Some of the views from our ride up there in Arrivee p. 28

I highly recommend the Forsinard road. A nice alternative to what you have could be from Kinbrace to take road to Syre > Altnahara > Crask Inn > Lairg.
Gorgeous roads I've done on some of the North Scotland Audax's

I've ridden the A9 a few times and it isn't bad North of Dornoch
