A825CorranArdgourCorran 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.

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).
