From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A701 is a major road in Scotland, that runs from Dumfries to Edinburgh.
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 is an alternative to the A7 or A702 routes from the Edinburgh to the A74(M) 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.
