B9054

This article is about the current B9054 in Kirkwall.
For the former B9054 through Dounby, now the A986, see B9054 (Finstown - Twatt).

The B9054 is a short road in Kirkwall town centre. The road was originally unclassified and owing to its short length it is not known exactly when it gained its number. It is shown on maps from the late 1940s.

School Place on the B9054

The route's northern end is unclear. Its traditional start point is where the A960 turned from Harbour Street into Bridge Street but the latter road is now semi-pedestrianised so some maps show the B9054 as extending along Harbour Street to the Kiln Corner Roundabout. Either way, it heads east along Shore Street, before turning right at the Shore Street roundabout down St Catherine's Place. At the end it TOTSOs sharp right, briefly running along East Road, before forking left along Queen Street, and so on to King Street as it weaves around the historic back streets to the east of the town centre. King Street sweeps round on to School Place at the back of the Cathedral (hidden behind buildings and trees) to rejoin the A960 once more as it heads south through the town.
