Route outline (key)
B770 Renfrew - Nitshill
The A736 (former B770) Crookston Road

The B770 was a short north-south B-road in what was the countryside between Paisley and Glasgow. It started on the A8 to the east of Renfrew (albeit over the county boundary in Lanarkshire) and headed south into Crookston, where there was a short multiplex west along the A737. The route then continued south for roughly the same distance again to end on the A736 at Nitshill.

The route survived into the 1960s. However, with the expansion of Glasgow and the construction of the M8, it was upgraded to Class I status, becoming the A754. Later still, it was renumbered as the A736 when it was rerouted to meet the motorway, and it remains this number.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Hurlet - Crookston - Renfrew
