Route to Ayr from south

mickrumble

Hello all, I am shortly going to be towing my average size single axle van up to Ayr. The obvious route would appear to be M6/A74(M) but  I quite fancy leaving the motorway network at Gretna and taking the A75 ,A76 and A70. Do any  members have experience of this route? Speed is not an issue, it's just that the non motorway option looks as if it may be more scenic !Any comments gratefully received.  Mick Rumble
