A82


The A82 is the major road to the western Scottish Highlands, running from Glasgow to Inverness.

The A82 begins in the Charing Cross area of Central Glasgow, before threading through the city's fashionable West End. Glasgow's famous "Boulevard" (officially known as Great Western Road), is in fact the urban section of the A82. As it threads through the north west of the city, it passes through Kelvinside, Anniesland, Clydebank and Dumbarton before turning north to head up the western shore of Loch Lomond. At Tarbet it splits, leaving the A83 to continue to the west. (The A83 passes through the similarly named Tarbert before eventually arriving at Campbeltown, its ultimate destination).

From Tarbet, the A82 then leads through Crianlarich and Tyndrum, where it splits again.
