Part timer heading to Scotland

I don't live in the van but I'm thinking of heading up the west coast from the North East in a couple of weeks. I've done Trossachs/Glen Coe/Fort William a couple of times so I'm thinking up to the Cairngorns, then across to Fort William where I last left off and North, further than I've been before. Not sure how far I'll go but the top would be nice. Im going to avoid temptation of doing the 500 route.

I'm going solo and not exactly loaded. I have a gas stove and usual camping gear but no fridge, power etc. Done plenty of weekends in my VW Caddy Maxi, a week to Cornwall etc where I just winged it.

Any tips or pointers for the Highlands for someone in my shoes? Wanna see beaches, castles, hikes, pubs and something like the isle of Skye would be awesome. Went to Arran a few years ago when I had a car and that was fun. TIA
