Template:UK road routebox The A701 is a major road in Scotland, that runs from Dumfries to Edinburgh.

Route of Road

The A701 leaves Dumfries and travels North to meet the M74 at Beattock it thens joins the M54 Motorway for a short spell before branching of to the North East towards Moffat and ultimately Edinburgh. The road is an alternative to the A7 or A702 routes from the Edinburgh to the M54 and M6 south. It is a true driver's road popular with motor cyclists. It is particularly picturesque as it twists off Moffat and turns around the edge of the Devil's Beef Tub.
