The B9094 is a link road in south Aberdeenshire. The route was originally unclassified but had gained its number by 1932.
The route starts on the B9119 (former A974) to the south of Tarland and heads east, curving slightly to skirt a hill; the Tomnaverie Stone Circle is on top but is barely visible from the road. A short lay-by has been supplemented by a car park for visitors to the stone circle. The route continues east zigzagging past a farm before following a straight road across the moor and through some scrubby woodland. At the end of the wood is the only significant road junction en route, with a minor road turning left to Coull. After a brief run southwards across the valley floor, the route bears left to avoid climbing the hill ahead, and climbs gently southeastwards through fields and woodland.
A long sweeping right hander takes the route through another wood and onto a southerly course into Aboyne. The B9094 then follows an apparently un-named road south into the town, passing a few residential side streets on the right while a large block of woodland stands to the left behind an old stone wall. The route then crosses the former Deeside Railway, now a footpath, before ending at a crossroads on the A93. The unclassified Old Tollhouse Road opposite, which provides a short-cut to the B978, was briefly an extension of the B9094 in the 1970s.
