The B739 (former B734) at Colmonell

The B739 was a rural B-road in the Carrick area of Ayrshire. It started on the A714 at Pinwherry and headed west downstream along the valley of the River Stinchar, presently reaching Colmonell, the largest place en route. A mile or so further on the road bore right out of the valley and made a beeline for the coast, ending in the dunes on the A77.

The B739 number did not last long. By 1930 the route had been upgraded to Class I status, becoming the A765. However, in more recent years, it was downgraded to Class II status again. As the B739 had already been re-used, it became a western extension of the B734, which it remains.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Corseclays - Colmonell - Pinwherry Station
