Hi redsmartie - I’d echo the suggestion to go from Perth to Aviemore via Blairgowrie, Braemar and Tomintoul. Brilliant road.
The A9 is no fun
Try to get a "I love Tongue" sticker in Tongue
If you fancy a detour from Perth you could head for Blairgowrie and then through Glenshee to Braemar, Ballatar and then over the Lecht heading for Tomintoul, Granton -on- Spey and then the A9 just north of Aviemore. It's a beautiful run!

If you do decide to go this way bear in mind that the bridge at Gairnsheil Lodge will be closed as from the 14th May for 2 weeks. An alternative is to carry on to Dinnet the turn left and that road to Tomintoul.
I’m conscious that I’ve hijacked this thread and while I was looking for stops that would be mutually beneficial to the OP
That said, I leave on the 12th of May so that’s not a problem

Then enjoy the ride! One other thought for you to consider is when you reach Grantown-on-Spey head for Nairn then head for Inverness instead of joining the A9 above Aviemore? That to is a great run along with cutting out the A9 which is a pig of a road!
Tell me if I’m being lazy by asking and not calculating the route but is this alternative come with an additional time premium and if so how long?
Extra hour? More? Less?
