Which is the normal direction? Could I get a train to Inverness and ride it southwards?
£88 is cheapest train up but that appears to be a sleeper train, seated only, which sounds like a really shit way to start a tour.

Sleeper seated isn't too terrible. It is a reclining seat like an airplane. Better than a normal train seat by far.
Usual direction is S. to Glasgow.

Wind is best going south to North but you'd have probably do more walking because of steepness/roughness. Did it on a mountain bike and friend had gravel, I'd probably take mountain bike but either are fine

everyone I know who has done it, has done it on a gravel bike. I think the corrieyairick pass would probably benefit from a MTB on the way down but it's def doable (from what I gather) on a gravel bike
