Road	From	To	Notes

Previously allocated to Sauchiehall Street and Parliamentary Road (now gone due to gentrification of central Glasgow and Townhead in the 1960s) from Argyle Street (then the A814) to the A803; this was declassified when the M8 started construction, and the A804 was moved to its current route.
A805	Unused		Ran from Argyle Street (then the A82) via Buchanan Street (southern section now pedestrianized; north section now gone, replaced by Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and a parking garage) to the A81. Became part of a rerouted A82 (the Argyle Street section of the A82 became part of the A814) in 1935 and was declassified in the 1960s-1970s.
A806	Kirkintilloch	Stepps	Created in 2010 as a renumbering and extension of the A8006. Previously allocated to a road from A81 north of Anniesland to Scotstoun; this is now the A739 and the unclassified Anniesland Road.
A807	Torrance	Milngavie
A808	Bearsden	Bearsden
A809	Bearsden	A811 near Croftamie and Drymen
A810	Bearsden	Duntocher
A811	Balloch	Stirling	Swapped with the A813 when the A82 bypass was built.
A812	Dennystown	Renton	The original route was on Bank Street and Bridge Street in Alexandria from Main Street (then A82) to A811 (now A813); this became part of a rerouted A82 and the road was reassigned to the old route of the A82; the section from the A82 to Bridge Street became part of the B857 when the A82 was rerouted onto the bypass.
A813	Dumbarton	Balloch	Swapped with the A811 when the A82 bypass was built, and also replaced the old route of the A82 (this section was originally also part of the A811) south of Bridge Street; formerly continued north to Balloch Road.
A814	Glasgow	Arrochar	Incorporates the Clydeside Expressway in Glasgow
A815	Cairndow	Toward	Is the main road through the Cowal peninsula, goes through Dunoon and down the Firth of Clyde coast to Toward Point.
A816	Lochgilphead	Oban	Planned to be replaced by the A85 in the 1935 renumbering, but this never happened. The southern section along Bishopton Road, Oban Road, and Argyll Street was formerly part of the A817.
A817	Loch Lomondside	Garelochhead	Designated 1995, but built in 1987 to connect the Clyde submarine bases to the A82. Previously allocated to a road from Poltalloch Street to Bishopton Road in Lochgilphead. Became a portion of the A816 between 1981 and 1995.
A818	Arden	Helensburgh	Created in 2005, replacing the B831 and the southern section of the B832. Originally ran from the A83 in Campbelltown to the pier; now part of the B842.

A824	Muirton (Auchterarder)	Aberuthven
A825	Corran	Ardgour	Corran Ferry; the roads on either side are part of the A861. Number assigned by Highland Council in 2014. First used from A822 to A85 in Crieff. Renumbered as the A822 mainline (not a spur) in 1934; the section along Lodge Street was probably declassified at the same time. Next used on a road from Gourock to Gourock ferry terminal (not shown on a 1976 OS map but does appear on a 1978 version). In 1985, the A8 and A78 were rerouted in the area, creating the A770. The rerouting of the A8 would have put the A825 out of zone, and it was renumbered to A771.
A826	Milton	Aberfeldy
A827	Ballinluig	Mid Lix
A828	Connel	Ballachulish
A829	Unused		Ran from Glen Coe via Kinochlemore to North Ballachulish; became part of the A82 in 1934 when it was rerouted to avoid the ferry across Loch Leven, and then the B863 in 1975 when the A82 was rerouted to the Ballachulish Bridge. One map shows a second A829 on the old route of the A82 from North Ballachulish south to the ferry (now the bridge), but this was likely a misprint for the A828 extension (this section is now part of the A82).
A830	Fort William	Mallaig
A831	Drumnadrochit	A862 near Wester Balblair
A832	Cromarty	Near Muir of Ord
