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.

Famous quotes containing the word road:
“My father and mother in 1817 were forty-nine days on the road with their emigrant wagons [from Vermont] to Ohio. More than two days for each hour that I spent in the same journey.”
