B roads are routes, which have lower traffic densities than the main trunk roads, or A roads. This classification has nothing to do with the width or quality of the physical road, and B roads can range from dual carriageways to single track roads with passing places. B roads follow the same numbering scheme as A roads, but almost always have 3 and 4 digit designations. Charles Rogers was the only son of James Rogers, born 1767, died 1849, minister of Dunino in Fife, he was born in the manse there on 18 April 1825; His mother, who died at his birth, was Jane, second daughter of William Haldane, minister successively at Glenisla and Kingoldrum. After attending the parish school at Dunino for seven years, he matriculated at the University of St Andrews in 1839, and spent seven years there. Licensed by the presbytery of St Andrews in June 1846, he was employed in the capacity of assistant minister at Western Anstruther, Kinglassie, Abbotshall, Dunfermline, Ballingry, and Carnoustie. He then opened a preaching station at the Bridge of Allan, and from January 1855 until 11 August 1863 was chaplain of the garrison at Stirling Castle. During his time in Stirling, Rogers was elected in 1861 as a member of the town council, and took part in the erection of the William Wallace Monument. Rogers went into journalism. In November 1865 set up London, England, a short lived Naval and Military Tract Society, In 1854 Columbia College in New York, America, awarded Rogers the degree of LLD and in 1881 the University of St Andrews awarded him a DD.

In 1873 a number of his friends presented Rogers with a house in London, which he called Grampian Lodge. He returned to Scotland some years before his death, which took place at his house in Edinburgh on 18 September 1890, at the age of 65. He is buried in Grange Cemetery in south Edinburgh. The grave lies in the north-east section not far from the main entrance. Spring in the United Kingdom depends on whether you are following the astronomical or metrological calendar.
