The B1344 was a short B-road connecting the A1 with the Berwickshire coast at St Abbs Head.
The former B1344 (now B6438) Coldingham High Street
The route started on the A1 to the north of the village of Reston, and headed north, crossing the Ale Water before dropping down into Coldingham. In 1922 the B1344 was the only classified road that served the village, but the B1343 was extended through before 1927 and subsequently upgraded to be the A1107 before 1932, taking over a short section of the B1344 in the process. The B1344 continued north of Coldingham before bearing east into the coastal village of St Abbs. It ended in the village on an unclassified road above the harbour.
In 1935 the B1344 was renumbered as part of an extension of the B6438, which it remains.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Reston - St Abbs
