Prefer to drive the official scenic route which is about the only route available from south esingburgh to the M6 so had to be the official one! Lovely countryside and towns but some of the bends are a bit keen even if you have an agile car. Much better than drive ti glqsgow and turn left. Hope your drivers show some originality Ray as you miss what the borders and lowlands are about if they take the motorway route. On Feb 14, 2013 10:20 PM, "Fiona McLean" <[email protected]> wrote:
