The B9076 (Shetland Islands)

The B9076 is a link road towards the northern end of Shetland Mainland. It links the A970 at Brae with the A968 near Mossbank. The primarily serves the Sullom Voe oil terminal and also passes the Scatsta Airfield. It is a good quality road which has benefited from the “oil boom” in the 1970s and 80s, being upgraded to serve the oil terminal (which was built between 1975 and 1981) and former alignments can often be seen alongside the current road.
