Possibly the second shortest (after the B9065), almost certainly the most pointless of Orkney's B-road network. I can hardly see a reason (although I admit I have never visited Hoy) for this road to be classified, as it cuts less than a hundred metres from the B9047's length in the mile that it runs for. It also completely fails to serve the ferry pier at Linksness, which is served by an unclassified road instead.
