The A701 leaves Dumfries and travels north to meet the A74(M) at Beattock. It thens joins the A74(M) for a short spell before branching off to the north-east towards Moffat and ultimately Edinburgh.

The road can be an alternative to the A7 or A702 routes to Edinburgh from the A74(M) and M6. The A701 is popular with motorcyclists and passes close to the edge of the Devil's Beef Tub. It runs also parallel with the former Talla Railway for several miles.
