The B9000 (former B9003) near Auchnacant
The original route of the B9003, as classified in 1922, ran from the A947 near Old Meldrum east to the coast at Newburgh, where it ended on the B9005. There was a multiplex along the B999 at Pitmedden and a shorter one along the A92 further east.
In the mid 1930s the route was renumbered as part of an extended B9000, with the multiplex at Pitmedden remaining the B999. Later, in the 1960s, the western half was upgraded as part of the A920. The eastern end retains the B9000 number.
