21 Dornoch Firth Second Series ©1980; major roads revised 1978
A949 into Dornoch but no Dornoch Bridge. Tain Bypass under construction. A836 still crosses Struie Hill. B817 running through Invergordon but apart from some minor realignments the current A9 does not appear to have been built; certainly no Evanton/Alness bypass. Cromarty Bridge is shown but as an unclassified road.
26 Inverness Landranger ©1988
A9 north of Inverness as we know it now. There was a tatty earlier sheet which showed the old A9 and current A862 routes through Dingwall all as A roads.
In Inverness, however, there are multiple un-numbered B roads shown: B9145 and B9146 routes are shown as well as the B865 (Longman Road, Inverness). Further south, the B8038 survives, but the A862 has obviously been renumbered as the B862.
The new A82 bridge over the River Ness has been built, but not connected through to the B865, so the A82 still runs through the city centre and out along the current B865, Millburn Road. There is an implied one way system around the city centre - Bank Street, Academy Street and High Street.
36 Grantown & Cairngorm Second Series ©1976; revised 1974
Old A9 route. A951 (Aviemore) following later route now used by B970 as far as Coylumbridge. A95 still runs through Dulnain and Grantown.
35 Kingussie Second Series ©1976; revised 1974
A862 still following what is now the B862. A9 Tomatin Bypass shown as under construction. A951 as above. Crubenmore to Dalwhinnie also shown as under construction. B970 therefore still runs through to Ralia, and does not connect to the A9 in Kingussie.
52 Pitlochry & Aberfeldy First Series ©1982
Pitlochry Bypass complete, but A924 shown as following the old A9 route south towards Ballinluig - now unclassifed. Pitnacree Bridge on the A827 is open, although there was a tatty early sheet which showed the old route still. Ballinluig is not bypassed, but Dunkeld is, along with Pass of Birnam.
At Perth, the A9 is dualled from Inveralmond to Luncarty, but there is no sign of the Perth Bypass, even though the M90 reaches Broxden. The A9 is not dualled west of Perth.
53 Blairgowrie First Series ©1980; revised 1979
Pitlochry Bypass shown as under construction. The rest of the A9 is as above. Perth is fully shown now, including the M85, but there is a curiosity here - the A93 keeps to the east bank of the Tay and meets the M85, thus forming a useless multiplex with the A85 - which continues east towards Dundee. Depsite the M90, the A90 still enters Perth.
57 Stirling First Series ©1976; revised 1974
No A84 bypass at Kingshouse, Balquiddher. A892 and B8061 survive in Callander. A9 is dualled from the B8033 junction out towards Perth, but no Dunblane Bypass. The M9 Stirling Bypass and M80 are open, but the next section of the M9 is under construction. The short A99 (Stirling) is marked connecting the A9 to the motorway, but the rest of the eastern bypass is absent. A second series sheet showed The A91 crossing the Forth and reaching the A905, but the next section was under construction. The A99 label had been removed. Further west, there is no Drymen bypass.
63 FIrth of Clyde First Series ©1980; revised 1978
I also picked up this sheet which shows the A825 (Gourock) shown, and the A742 still runs through Greenock. Apart from a short section at Woodhall, Port Glasgow, the A8 is dualled into Greenock. The A82 Alexandria Bypass is all open with the current numbering shown. The A886 still runs along the coast - the B866 route. Further south, the A845 on Bute and A860 on Cumbrae survive, and the A78 Kilwinning Bypass is open.
