Route : Dunblane- Doune
This road is approximately 4 miles long, commencing at it's eastern end on the B8033 Stirling Rd (old A9) to the south of Dunblane town centre. At this point westbound traffic heads first north on Claredon Pl before turning north west onto Springfield Terr, eastbound traffic travels directly from Springfield Terr onto Sunnyside to meet the B8033. Claredon Pl and Sunnyside forming a one way loop off of the Stirling Rd.
The road continues north west following the railway line for a short distance, becoming Doune Rd as it passes through the quiet residential suburbs of Dunblane, then turns to head west, crossing over the A9 at a grade separated junction, and leaves Dunblane behind as it heads into open countryside.
The road follows the course of the dismantled Dunblane, Doune and Callander Railway and the Ardoch Burn, meets the B824 (an old military rd), before entering the village of Doune as Ardochbank.
Upon entering Doune it crosses the Ardoch Burn and passes Doune Castle (where Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed), becoming Main St, and then Balkerach St after passing Doune Cross. The road ends a short distance later at a junction with the A84, close to the site of the former Doune railway station.
