The A730 (former A729) Cathcart Road
The A729 followed the northern part of Cathcart Street (now Cathcart Road) in Glasgow. It connected the A77 on Pollokshaws Road to the A728 which continued south along Cathcart Street, and followed Crown Road to the north. The route is still numbered on the OS 1:10,000 sheet from 1967 following its original route, but since then there have been some major changes in the area. Crown Street no longer reaches Cathcart Road, and so the A728 now continues further north on Cathcart Road before following Laurieston Road. At the same time, the A730 has been re-routed to meet the A728 further south, the two routes then multiplexing, before the A730 continues along the final northern section of Cathcart Road to reach Pollokshaws Road.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Glasgow (Cathcart Street)
