Approaching the western end of the former B728 at Minto Cottage

The B728 was a short route in south Kirkcudbrightshire. It started on the A711 on the northern edge of Kirkcudbright town centre and headed west, soon crossing the River Dee. The route continued along a vaguely westerly route, winding across the undulating terrain and passing no further places of any size. Presently the route reached Minto Cottage on the now-bypassed original line of the A75 between Gatehouse of Fleet and Twynholm, where it ended.

Within ten years the B728 had been upgraded and renumbered to become the A755, which it remains, although the A755 has been extended further west along the old line of the A75 with the opening of the Gatehouse bypass.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Kirkcudbright - Minto Cott
