My son and his girlfriend have recently completed a loose version in September. They took their time and stopped off sightseeing and walking etc and took 9 days.
Day 1 Birmingham to Moffat
Day 2 Moffat to Inverness via Glen Coe, Fort William and the Great Glen
Day 3 Inverness to Applecross
Day 4 Applecross to Tongue via Ullapool
Day 5 Tongue to John O Groats
Day 6 JOG to Inverness
Day 7 Inverness to Edinburgh
Day 8 Edinburgh
Day 9 Edinburgh to Brum.
They stayed in small hotels/Premier Inns and B&B's found through Airbnb. the most interesting drive being up the west coast from Applecross to Tongue and the most demanding - due to twisty roads hugging the coast - from Tongue to JOG. That part was also busy traffic wise.
