Route outline (key)
B9167 Evelix - Dornoch

The B9167 was a short link road in south Sutherland serving the Royal Burgh of Dornoch.

Route

The Square, Dornoch

The route started on the A9 at Evelix Junction, just north of the bridge over the River Evelix and headed east through the small settlement of Camore. It wasn't long before Dornoch itself was reached, with the B9167 following Evelix Road into the town centre. The B9168 came in from the left on the near side of town, where the B9167 originally appears to have ended. However, it was later extended east along Castle Street into the town square. After passing between the castle and cathedral the road reached The Square, where it ended. The other roads here were unclassified.

History

While this road is not much more than 2 miles long, it has carried three separate numbers since first being classified in 1922.

The road was originally numbered B867 as everything north of Inverness was in the 8 zone. This changed in 1935 when the A9 was extended north, so the in-zone B9167 number was allocated. The route then gained its present number, A949, between 1959 and 1962, at which time the A949 extended north to Dornoch Station, which closed in 1960! The 1959 OS One Inch map clearly shows that the B9167 never reached the station.
