ROAD CONNECTIONS
From the south, the M6 is the main route into Scotland. This joins the A74/M74 at the Scottish border north of Carlisle. From this point, depending on your itinerary, there are a number of options. Take the scenic coastal route on the A75, running from Gretna to Stranraer (110 miles). From Stranraer you can continue north to sample the courses of Ayrshire following the A73, a delightful coastal drive.
Alternatively taking the A75 to the town of Dumfries, the A76 continues north into Ayrshire. Also available is the A71 Galloway Tourist Route connecting through Dumfries west to New Galloway (A75-A712) then north to Ayr through the Galloway Forest Park.
From the north and all other areas, the M77/A77 between Glasgow and the south- west ferry port of Stranraer is the principal route into and through the region connecting many of its most famous courses.
