The original number of the coast-to-coast road on the west side of Shetland Mainland was B9076. It started on the A971 at Bridge of Walls and headed northwest passing through no settlements of any size before it ended in the centre of the village of Sandness.
The route was renumbered as a spur of the A971 in the mid-1920s (and the classified road has been extended to the village's pier) and the B9076 number recycled for use elsewhere on the same island.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Bridge of Walls - Sandness
