B706 Penicuik - Walstone

Near the western end of the A766 (former B706)

The B706 was a short B-road in central Midlothian. It started on the A701 just to the north of Penicuik town centre and headed roughly southwest, passing no other places of any size or importance before ending a few miles later on the A702 in the sight of a building or two but otherwise in the middle of nowhere.

The road was quickly upgraded to Class I status, and at some point between 1927 and 1932 it had become the A766, which it remains.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Penicuik (Shottstown) - Walstone
