B998

For the former B998 at Newmachar, Aberdeenshire, see B998 (Aberdeenshire).

Route

The new roundabout with the A91 at the northern end

The B998 is a very short road climbing out of Stirling.

Starting on the A9 / A907 Causewayhead Roundabout the road follows a busy route to the northeast past the Wallace Monument and Stirling University to end on the A91 near Logie Kirk. This junction was rebuilt as a roundabout in the early 2010s.

In its former life as the A997, the road also had a short spur along Hillfoots Road to meet the A9 to the west of Causewayhead; this has since been declassified, and is one way uphill at the A9 end.

History

This road was originally classified as the A91 in 1922, with the exception of Logie Road, which was the B907 but soon became part of the A91. In the mid 1930s, however, the A91 was re-routed to the east and this route became the A997, before being downgraded to its current number more recently.
