B919 Wester Balgedie – Mawcarse
Wester Balgedie

The B919 – a short link road in Kinross-shire – starts at Balgedie Toll in Wester Balgedie, where it turns off the A911 by the Balgedie Toll Tavern. It heads off northwestward, descending steeply at first before the gradient eases along a dead-straight road which extends for almost a mile. It then becomes windier as it nears the bottom of the hill and crosses a dismantled railway line adjacent to the former Mawcarse station, which is just recognisable although very little now remains of it. The road then continues for a short distance across the fields and past a short row of houses to end on the A91 just to the east of the south-facing M90 J8.

History

Originally the B919 continued further north, crossing the A91 and followed the course of what is today an unclassified road for a little over 300m to end at a second crossroads, with the old A90 (long since replaced by the M90). The coming of the motorway completely altered the road layout in this area, however, and all that now marks the site of the B919's original terminus is a sharp bend to the right in the present minor road, all trace of the former roads to left and straight ahead having totally disappeared from the landscape.

An amended OpenStreetMap trace for this route awaits uploading to the SABRE Wiki.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Balgedie - Junction with A90
