The B9155 at Baldridgeburn

Route

The A907 enters Dunfermline from the west along Rumblingwell, then TOTSOs right at a traffic-light controlled junction down William Street. The road ahead, now the B9155, continues along Baldridgeburn for just under half a mile, passing a mixture of old and new houses, with a scattering of businesses, along the way. The route then TOTSOs left at a mini-roundabout onto Broomhead Drive, the further end of which was built in the 1960s along with the tower blocks to the south, and continues for a third of a mile before ending on the A823, here known as Pilmuir Street, at another mini-roundabout.

History

Whilst this route was left unclassified in 1922, it had become the A976 a decade later. At that time, however, Broomhead Drive had not been built and instead the route followed Mill Street and Foundry Street. The A976 survived until at least 1973. It is not quite clear when the route was downgraded to be the B9155, although it seems plausible that it was at the same time that it was re-routed along Broomhead Drive.
