Junction between B750 & A759
The B750 is a short link road in the Ayrshire village of Dundonald.
It starts on the B730 beneath the castle and heads east along Kilmarnock Road. The B750 quickly reaches open country. It bears sharply left before running alongside a wood to end at a T-junction on the A759.
History
Originally the B750 was considerably longer. It started on the
B749 in the centre of the coastal town of Troon and headed inland. After a short multiplex north along the
A78 the road headed east via Dundonald to end on the
A71 (now
B7081) in the centre of
Kilmarnock.
The road was truncated very early on. By 1932 virtually the entire road had been renumbered A759. However, this A-road had been moved onto the Dundonald northern bypass (which did not exist in 1922). The north-south road through Dundonald had become the B730 and so the B750 number remained with the only section of road not yet mentioned in this paragraph, which is the 1200 or so yards with the number today.
