The A91 (former B907) by Powis Mains

The second incarnation of the B907 was in existence by 1932, after the A91 had taken over the entire route of the first. It was a short road (albeit longer than the original), linking the A91 with the A907 along a straight road to the northeast of Stirling.

The B907 was still in existence after World War II but was quickly upgraded to Class I status, becoming the A91, which it remains. Mapping evidence shows that this occurred in c1950, with the OS Six Inch map from that year showing the B907 in place, but renumbered as the A91 on the 1951 edition. It is therefore noteworthy that both the defunct incarnations of the B907 number became so when the A91 was rerouted over them!

The Trunk Roads Act 1946 created the Stirling - St Andrews trunk road, including the B907 as part of it, probably because it was (and is) a flatter and easier route than the original route of A91 past the Wallace Monument (now B998). No doubt this led to its renumbering.
