Route

The eastern end of the former A997 (now B998)

The A997 was a short link road to the north of Stirling with a surprisingly complicated numbering history. The route started at the A9/A91 junction in Causewayhead and headed north along Logie Road to reach Hillfoots Road. It then turned right along Hillfoots Road, following it back to end on the A91 where Logie Kirk Roundabout is now. The western section of Hillfoots Road, back to the A9 Airthrey Road, is also marked as a Class I road on maps showing the A997 and is therefore likely to be a spur or the mainline of the same road.

History

Hillfoots Road was the original western end of the A91 whilst Logie Road was numbered B907. The B907 soon lost its number, becoming a spur of the A91).This situation lasted until the 1950s at the latest, but more likely until 1946, when the A91 became a trunk road. Probably at the same time, the A91 was rerouted onto a flatter route further east and the section from Causewayhead to Logie Kirk, including the spur, became the A997.

The road appears to have been declassified in the early 1970s but was soon upgraded again, becoming the B998, which it remains. The western spur section of Hillfoots Road, however, remains unclassified, and is now one-way up the hill.

The MOT map shows the original A91 and B907
Whilst the 1961 edition shows the A997
And the 2010 equivalent shows the B998
