Coming in a close second for the shortest two-digit A-road: the A79. Point your maps to Ayr and you'll see that to the north of town the A78 ends on the A77, which is fine. Follow the line of the A78 back from the junction, and there's a non-primary A-road dual carriageway which works its way into Prestwick, through Ayr and pops out the other end after about six miles to end on the A77. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the A79.
I looked for other sections, thinking maybe it was fragmented or multiplexed with another road somewhere (wow, that sounded technical!) but all to no avail - is this it?

Roughly ⅔ of this road was once the A77 from the south end of Prestwick Airport to its end at Doonholm.
