It follows the coastline of the Moray Firth and passes the towns of Buckie and Portknockie before reaching Cullen .

Between Portsoy and Banff it takes the A95 coming from the highlands of Moray , crosses the Deveron on the listed Bridge of Banff and reaches Macduff . It continues further inland through a sparsely populated region and describes a wide arc back to the Moray Firth. It ends in the center of Fraserburgh at the end of the A90 .
