The A947 is a single-carriageway road in Scotland that links Aberdeen to Banff via several towns in Aberdeenshire, including Newmachar, Oldmeldrum, Fyvie and Turriff.[1]

Approximately half a mile before Oldmeldrum are views of Bennachie.

The A947 has a poor safety record, with over 20 fatal crashes occurring between 2005 and 2018.[2]
