A bypassed section of the former B911 near Torryburn

The B911 originally ran from Dunfermline to Clackmannan following a route along the River Forth via Kincardine. It met the A907 at both ends; this road took the more direct route it still follows. However, by the end of the 1930s the whole route had been upgraded to A road status, albeit not all at once and so it now carries several different numbers.

By 1932, all of the B911 west of Cairneyhill had been upgraded to become part of the A985, which continued eastwards on the former B912, leaving just the short section into Dunfermline as the B911. By 1935 the remainder of the route had also been upgraded to an A road and had become the A994 from Cairneyhill into Dunfermline. Then, with the opening of the Kincardine Bridge in 1936, the section of A985, ex-B911 north of Kincardine was renumbered as the A977, which had been greatly extended to cross the new Kincardine Bridge. In more recent years Valleyfield and Torryburn have been bypassed by the A985 and the section of former B911 through the villages is now the B9037.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Clackmannan - Kincardine - Dunfermline
