Go here http://www.rampantscotland.com/castles.htm
for an extensive list of links to Scottish castle websites. If you scroll down you'll find a site called Scotland holiday net, which has a whole section on B&B's.
If I were you, I'd travel at leisure giving yourself time to dwell on the more interesting sites, and leave your plans flexible. When you arrive at your overnight stop, go to the local Tourist Information Office, and for a small fee they'll find you a B&B for the night. The only drawback with this is that you are probably better arriving at your overnight stop in late afternoon, when the office is open. But you won't find a shortage of B&B's anywhere unless there's a big event on, and doing this gives you the evenings to explore locally and relax.------------------

Go ahead and make out a trip planner. When you arrive and have gotten to your first stop over be sure to through it as far away as you can. Or maybe keep it to look at when you get back home and it will help you to remember the places you went and enjoyed instead of following that schedule. ------------------

CASTLE DUNCAN And in all your comings
and goings, May you ever
have a kindly greeting
from them you meet along
the road.
