A836 Road

A836 Road

The A836 road is entirely within the Highland area of Scotland, and 129 miles (208 km) long.

It branches from the A9 near Tain and runs generally north through Bonar Bridge and Lairg, until Tongue. Between Lairg and Tongue the road is single track for 38 miles (61 km). At Tongue the road turns east, following the north coast, passing through Thurso, and eventually ending at John o' Groats, where it meets the A99.

Although the road starts in Ross and Cromarty and ends in Caithness, the majority of its length is in Sutherland.
