B947

This article is about the current B947 into Blairgowrie.
For the former B947 from Dunkeld to Coupar Angus, now the A984, see B947 (Dunkeld - Coupar Angus).

The B947 is a rural B-road in east Perthshire. The road was originally unclassified but has gained its present number by 1932, following the upgrading of the original B947 to Class I status.

The road starts on the A984, midway between Caputh and Meikleour, and heads north to Lethendy. Right at the junction there is a sign warning that the route is single-track with passing places, but this first stretch is almost all S2. At Kirkton of Lethendy, the road does indeed narrow, swinging sharply to the east as it passes through the tiny village. After a series of wiggles, a longer straight leads east to Chapel of Lethendy, where the road turns northwards once more at a T junction. A short straight then leads past the few houses of Chapel of Lethendy, the old chapel now a private house, and on along a sinuous route between high hedges to the Bridge of Essendy over the Lunan Burn. Here the road turns north east, before another bend to the east leads onto a long straight which leads right up to the A93 just south of Blairgowrie town centre.
