The B791 was a short B-road in central Renfrewshire. It was also the highest-numbered Class II road in the 7 zone in the original 1922 numbering. It started to the south of Kilmacolm on the B788 and headed north through town, where it met the B786. It then climbed into the hills before descending again into the valley of the River Clyde. The route ended on the original line of the A8 in Port Glasgow.
The route was quickly upgraded to Class I status, and became part of the A761 in the late 1920s, which it remains.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Junction with B788 S. of Kilmacolmn - Port Glasgow
