 The Motorway Archive. M9, Edinburgh to north of Stirling
A mile-long motorway spur was built from this section to the southern approaches to the Forth Road Bridge.
The M9 and M80 are linked directly at the southern end of the Stirling by-pass at the Bannockburn interchange.
The motorway passes to the west of Stirling and ends in the north at a roundabout junction with the all-purpose dual carriageway A9 south of Dunblane.

 Road Traffic Technology - M9 Forth Road Bridge Spur Extension, Scotland
The M9 spur will be extended to meet a new interchange with the existing A90 at Scotstoun.
Through the removal of the Humbie roundabout and carrying the motorway on a bridge over the local road, the existing connection from the M9 Spur to the A8000 will be taken out of service.
The design of the M9 spur scheme includes the construction of embankments and bridge structures at this location which will produce high ground loadings, and therefore the specification for the consolidation of the mine workings was developed to ensure the complete treatment of each seam and areas of migrated collapse.

 SABRE - Road Lists - The First 99 - A88
Extension of both M9 and M876 to fill the gaps had long been a priority - ghost ramps under the roundabout at M9 J9 had been completed as early as 1973 - but it was not until 1980 that the two new motorways were fully opened.
With the M9 opening right through, it was expected that the old A9 would be renumbered or declassified, as had happened very quickly when the M9 had been opened east of J4.
Between 1968 and 1980, this marked the western terminus of the M9, with the motorway ending at a roundabout on what was then the A876 (numbered as Junction 7).

 Why War? The Battle of Gleneagles
This motorway was one of the crucial motorways that delegates and support staff to the G8 Summit expected to travel down in a few hours.
Since Stirling is nestled between these three cities, the Eco-village provided the perfect location for launching the rolling blockades against the G8 on Wednesday, especially along the crucial M9, the motorway that eventually reaches the front door of the Gleneagles hotel itself.
As the deadline for the action came closer and closer it was decided that the initiative to carry out the blockades should be left to autonomous affinity groups and each departed to find their own route to the motorway and blockade it by whatever tactics they chose.

In Linlithgow the route of the old A9 finally acquires A road status, albeit as the (non-primary) A803, which continues to junction 4 of the M9, and on to Polmont and Falkirk.
Because the M9 motorway continues to form the primary route as far as Stirling, the A9 is non-primary here.
The original A9 ran from the terminal roundabout of the M9 into the middle of Dunblane on what is now the dual carriageway B8033.

 UFO Article: The Scotland Flying Triangle Written By Christopher Martin
It was a telephone call from Brian claiming that he had a new videotape of an object unlike anything that he had filmed before that prompted me to undertake the 900 mile round trip, which also unexpectedly culminated with the sighting of a Flying Triangle UFO above the M9 Motorway.
As we were approaching the outskirts of Edinburgh, I noticed to my right what I thought to be an aircraft coming in to land and made a passing comment about low-flying aeroplanes.
Within the space of a few seconds, the “aircraft” banked sharply to the left and was almost immediately directly over the Motorway which was when both myself and Neil could clearly see three huge red saucer-shaped lights flashing on and off randomly lining the top side of the craft.

Retreating in order to find another path to the M9 meant building barricades on the way out of the previous path.
His directions weren't the most conventional: "Go down that road and climb down the valley, across the fields, through the trees and that is where the motorway is." We had come this far, there was no way we were going to turn back, even if it meant hiking through the fields.
We were the first group to make it on to the highway, but definitely not the last.
