Scenic route Stirling to Oban

We will be driving from Stirling to Oban, leaving around noon and would like to arrive around 7PM. I don't know if we have the time to drive to Aberfoyle then to Callander by the Duke's Pass. I would like to stop in Balquhidder also. I would like some time for stops and short walks. It will be on wed July 6 if that makes a difference with traffic. I would appreciate some suggestions or advice.

If I recall correctly there aren't that many roads to take. Gelncoe is a winner as are the roads along Loch Etive.

Stirling to Oban round about through those places in 7 hours is a piece of cake.

Stirling to Aberfoyle, to Callander, into Balquhiddar and backout, a detour to/from Killin, and on to Oban via Dalmally is about 105 miles and 3 hours drive or a skosh more. So you really have about 4 hours play time along the way.
