The original B998, as classified in 1922 was a short B-road in east Aberdeenshire. Starting on the A947 at Newmachar (which was called Summerhill until 1928) the road headed east to zigzag under a railway line and then pass the Aberdeen District Asylum (later Kingseat Hospital, and now redeveloped as Kingseat Village). It ended shortly afterwards on the B999 north of Whitecairns.
The number was short-lived and the road was renumbered in the 1934 as part of an extended B979.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Risque - Whitecairns
An official document from 16-5-1934 details the following changes: The whole of this route to be renumbered as B979
