The ascent of Lochnagar and Stuic from Invercauld Bridge is indeed a good day out .
BUT ticking 'all 4' from Invercauld is ~ 30km route with 1200m ascent, same as the 5 Munroe 'White Mounth" route.
Hardly a 6hr day out unless you're going to run it and you're not recovering from having a broken foot.
Did the round (for the umpteenth time) + Conacraig back in October and wild camped just west of Broad Cairn (took <7hrs to get to campsite), grass is a bit lumpy but OK, picked up water west of Cairn Bannoch.
Next day took a walk cross country to Shielin of Mark bothy and then back down to car park, a bit of a tougher day.
