Fantastic thanks very much, I’ve been fascinated with the 74 since travelling on it with my parents many times in the 60’s and as a truck driver in the 70’s. Always use the old road between Gretna and Glasgow now, several times a year. My favourite bits are Harthope, Beattock and Red Moss. Keep up the great work guys.
