The A944 road connects Aberdeen with Strathdon in north-east Scotland.
It originates at the Lang Stracht in the city, which is a re-routing as, until 1999, the road left Aberdeen by way of Queens Road in the City Centre. However this route could not cope with the traffic. The road then passes Kingswells where there is a major junction with the A90 (the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route).
The A944 then passes Westhill by way of Elrick, Dunecht, Sauchen, Millbank and then Alford, from where it joins the A980 road and thereafter loosely follows the course of the River Don into the Cairngorms.
At a junction at Mossat, the A97 takes over as the northbound route towards Rhynie and on to Huntly. Following a section of 10 miles (16 km) as the A97 moving south-west passing Kildrummy Castle and Glenbuchat Castle, the roads split and the A944 carries on for a further 8 miles (13 km) before it eventually meets the A939 road to Tomintoul near Corgarff.

The highway's western terminus is in Aberdeen, Washington, at an intersection with US 101, while the highway's eastern terminus is in Downtown Detroit, at the corner of Michigan and Cass avenues, near Campus Martius Park.

The Causey Mounth is an ancient drovers' road over the coastal fringe of the Grampian Mountains in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This route was developed as the main highway between Stonehaven and Aberdeen around the 12th century AD and it continued to function as the principal route connecting these two cities until the mid 20th century, when modern highway construction of the A90 road occurred in this area. There are extant paved and usable sections of this road over part of the alignment; however, many parts of the ancient route are no more than footpaths, and in some cases the road has vanished into agricultural fields. Constructed in the Middle Ages, the Causey Mounth was created as an elevated rock causeway to span many of the boggy areas such as the Portlethen Moss. A considerable portion of the alignment of the Causey Mounth is illustrated on the UK Ordnance Survey Map, although a large fraction of the route cannot be navigated by a conventional passenger vehicle.
