From Roader's Digest: The SABRE Wiki
The A960 is a relatively short road, only 10 miles long, heading south-east from Kirkwall, past the island's airport to Upper Sanday. Along the way it passes the prehistoric Minehowe, a strange underground structure investigated by TV's Time Team, but its origins and original use are still obscure. It then crosses through the narrow pinch of land on to Deerness and so to Gritley. The landbridge connecting Deerness to Orkney's mainland is so narrow that at one point the road has a beach on either side, and is itself built on no more than a dune ridge. At Gritley, the A960 terminates, while the road divides to become the B9050 to Sandside Bay or the B9051 to Northquoy Point.
