The B743 is a secondary road in Ayrshire
Starting at Traffic Lights from Prestwick in South Ayrshire the B743 goes along Heathfield Road and crosses a railway line from Ayr. At Whitletts Roundabout the A77 is crossed and a Research Establishment passed near Auchincruive. Mossblown is then reached and railway lines crossed to be passed under again in due course.
East Ayrshire is then entered and the WCML passed under a bridge (14'6") at Mauchline with the A76 being crossed at Traffic Lights. Sorn is the next village and the course of the River Ayr followed until the A70 is joined at Marchouse Hill. There is a Multiplex with the A70 to Muirkirk.
The B743 then sets off over the hills until the end at Strathaven (A71) is reached.
