Are you sure about your route? Under the UK road numbering system, the B582 will be in Zone 5, which is North/East of the A5, west of the A6. At a guess, it will be somewhere near Liverpool.

Your quickest route from Culloden to the Skye Bridge is A96, A9, A82, A887, A87 (but you can miss out the shortcut via the A887 if you want to visit Fort Augustus - stay on the A82 until Fort Augustus & pick up the A87 there.

All these roads are suitable for a car/caravan combo

As above, I've never heard of the B852, however most routes between Inverness and Skye are ok for caravans. Which ever route you choose, PLEASE PLEASE pull over and let cars pass. Remember that at the back of any queue you cause could be an ambulance. Enjoy :)
