A90 road: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

The A90 is a major road in Scotland. It runs from Edinburgh to Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire.

From Edinburgh, it travels west and over the Forth Road Bridge, before turning into the M90 motorway. At Perth, the M90 again becomes the A90, now running north east to Dundee, Forfar, Brechin, Stonehaven, Aberdeen and Peterhead on its way to Fraserburgh.

The A90 was extended considerably in the early 90's, as it originally stopped at Inverkeithing. The former A85 went from Perth to Dundee, the A929 Kingsway went through Dundee and then towards Forfar, the A94 went from Forfar to Stonehaven, and the A92 from Stonehaven to Fraserburgh - it should be noted that the A92 did not go to Peterhead.
