That's interesting - I'm not sure how many times I've used the Tombreck track, but it'll be a dozen or so, maybe more, and I've not seen any increase in busyness over the years. I'm almost always the only car in the layby a wee bit to the east, and it's a rare day when I meet anyone on the track itself.

Ghlas-Corranaich-Tarmachan is worth doing, and I'm fond of starting from the Boreland plantation and going up Meall Greigh then down the standard way from there to Lawers village and back along the road (only half an hour and rarely busy). I like that as a winter outing - Meall Greigh is a better hill than the tag-on status it has tended to acquire.
