Barrachnie Cross on the B7058

The route starts at traffic lights on the D2 A8 Edinburgh Road and heads southwest along the largely residential Barrachnie Road. After passing a small industrial estate on the right, Barrachnie Crescent leads to the back entrance to Garrowhill station. Barrachnie Road then starts to gradually bend round to the south, crossing a mini-roundabout before passing a line of shops to reach Barrachnie Cross. Here it crosses the A89 at traffic lights and continues south along the straight Mount Vernon Avenue. This section is a little greener, with the tree lined Barrachnie Park soon lying alongside the road on the right. To the left modern housing estates back onto the main road, giving a tree-lined avenue. After passing the smaller Sherbounre Park on the left, another block of newer housing stands back from the main road, followed by an area of woodland. At length, in the suburb of Mount Vernon, the route passes a garage, an office block and a couple of large houses as it descends to traffic lights on the A74; the access to Mount Vernon station is on the left just before the lights.

History

The old kink on the B7058 at Sherbourne Park

The route was originally unclassified but seems to have gained its number in the mid 1930s, and is first identified on the 1939 edition of the OS Ten Mile Map, albeit un-numbered. When first classified, Mount Vernon Road appears to have been a fairly narrow lane, which took a slightly more meandering route than it does now. At Sherbourne Park, the route veered off to the left, and the long diagonal line of trees across the park appears to mark the old vergeline. On the far side of the park, a path turns left along an old farm drive, while the road doubled back to the right, curving along the backs of the newer houses. This kink is still shown on the One Inch Map in the late 1950s, but had been removed by the 1963 edition.
