The original route of the B980, as classified in 1922, was a cross-country road in south Aberdeenshire. The route started on the A93 at Peterculter, to the west of Aberdeen and headed north to meet the A944 near Westhill. Then after a short (and unusual) multiplex west it continued north, turning left at South Auchinclech Crossroads to end on the A96 at Kinellar, at what is now the western end of the Blackburn bypass.
This route was renumbered as part of a much extended B979 in 1934, and then after the war the B979 was diverted at Kinellar, Blackburn to reach the A96 further east. The original B980 route immediately south of Kinellar was declassified.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Peterculter - Blackburn
An official document from 16-5-1934 details the following changes: The whole of this route to be renumbered as B979
