The A832 is a road in the Scottish Highlands, linking Cromarty, on the east coast, to Gairloch on the west coast, and beyond Gairloch to Braemore Junction. It is 126 miles (203 km) long and runs entirely in the former county of Ross and Cromarty. The road forms part of the Wester Ross Coastal Trail.
Starting in Cromarty on the Black Isle, the A832 travels south alongside the Moray Firth to Fortrose, then turns west, heading inland. It crosses the A9 and A835 at Tore and continues to Muir of Ord, passing near to the Beauly Firth.
Five miles after Muir of Ord, the A832 meets the A835 again at a T-junction, and turning left, multiplexes with the A835 for nine miles (14 km) to Gorstan. On this stretch it passes Contin, the Rogie Falls and Loch Garve.
At Gorstan the A832 and A835 diverge again. They meet again later on at Braemore Junction, where the A832 terminates at the A835. From Gorstan to Braemore Junction on the A835 is 20 miles (32 km), however on the A832 it is a vast 87-mile (140 km) circuit to the west coast and around the mountains of Wester Ross.
