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.

A809 Bearsden A811 near Croftamie and Drymen

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.

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).
