Personally, if you only have 3 days I wouldn't bother with East Coast.
Possibly flying in and out of Glasgow or Inverness. The route from Loch Lomand up to Fort William through Glencoe is great. Fort William is a convenient place to base yourself and to explore the area.
From Eilean Donan castle, accommodation can also be found on the Isle of Skye, from there you could get the ferry back to Mallaig and then drive back to Fort William. The roads from Fort William - Mallaig and Fort William - Kyle of Lochalsh - Eilean Donan Castle - Skye are both VERY scenic.
