Can any of you Scottish lot recommend me a road :)

[RobArb]

Going to Edinburgh for the week tomorrow. Driving up from lancs, up the M6.

 

Now, do I, use the A7 from carlisle, the A702 from abingdon or carry on up the M6 to the M74 then across on the M8.

 

I'm leaving here at 8 tomorrow morning. What's best?

 

Ta chuck:biggrin:

best bet is the 702, but none of the roads are that great, if the weathers bad I would be tempted to stay on the 74 till it meets the m8, its longer , but could be quicker

Moffat to Selkirk is a great road. Not as quick as the others...

[j warwick]

Stick on the M74 quicker I would of thought. The A roads are nice for views etc depends if your in a hurry.

[Spruce Pirate]

Judging by the last weather forecast I saw, you might be better taking a boat!

 

Depends whether you want to go for speed and efficiency or taking in some of the scenery. I'd go the 702 as a more direct route, but like TomD says Moffat to Selkirk is far more scenic.

[Yve_Clark]

Take the M74 to J13 at Abington, then the A702 to Edinburgh. Best and most direct route. Have a great time in Edinburgh! :-)

[Big J]

A702 is a good road. Bit of a pain if you get stuck behind lorries, or at least until you've passed Biggar at which point overtaking becomes easier.

[NI Tree]

702 is good but moffat too Selkirk if time

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

I've have done the M8 myself, but then I prefer 70 mph and tarmac roar to nice views which you can't appreciate whilst driving anyway.

[RobArb]

Cheers all.

 

Oooo decisions, decisions. Just at a services just past Gretna now, on the M74 so time to make a decision.

 

Starbucks time:lol:
