@jfollows. That's a lot of possible routes! Mansfield to Inverness via Worksop/Retford/York/Edinburgh/Perth perhaps the most straightforward option? Unless the OP wants a scenic alternative!
Nottingham-Inverness has 70 routes defined in the routeing guide, I may not have captured all of them!
https://iblocks-rg-publication.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/yellow_pages.pdf shows them all.

One of the long scenic alternatives could even be the quickest option!
Changing at Worksop and Retford was almost always the best way and usually my choice until the recent new ECML timetable. Now the connection at Retford into the 2 hourly LNER train to York is just missed by a few minutes often resulting in a wait of almost an hour for the next train north. That’s even more irritating having already had a wait of around 35 minutes at Worksop. You can easily find yourself still sitting on the platform at Retford over 2 hours after leaving Mansfield. There can be similar long waits on the return journey.
I’ve just recently done a trip up to Dundee and the journey times were appalling via Worksop and I decided to get the bus to Alfreton Station and travel from there. On the outward journey I changed at Manchester Piccadilly and Edinburgh and on the return journey at Doncaster and Sheffield. Bus to Chesterfield is another alternative, but it’s such a climb up from the station to the bus on the return journey.
It was, after all, called Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway when it reopened (though I imagine they were thinking of London traffic!).

... all give you mapped routes over the Settle-Carlisle line travelling via Nottingham,Sheffield and Leeds. The shortest route (which goes via Worksop ) also runs over the S-C.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I will have a look at them.
