Glasgow is linked
to the Scottish capital, Edinburgh, by the M8 motorway and to England and Wales by the M74 (which becomes
the M6 further south, towards Carlisle). A more scenic route to Scotland’s largest city is the Clyde Valley Tourist Route, which runs through the valley parallel to the M74. To ensure you don’t get lost on this journey there are plenty distinctive brown and white signs to guide motorists, although you will find the more direct motorway route is also fairly scenic. It takes around one hour to get to Glasgow from Edinburgh, while Manchester is about three hours 50 minutes away. Like any major city, Glasgow can get very congested during peak times and so too can the M74, M9 and M6 motorways. For regular traffic and travel updates in Glasgow city centre and around, you could listen to BBC Radio Scotland. From England and the South: Take the M6 northbound until the end and proceed on to the M74 (A74) motorway. Leave the M74 at junction 4 to join the M73 (at junction 1). Leave the M73 at junction 2 to join the M8 (junction 8) west bound. Exit the M8 at junction 17 and follow signs for the city centre. From the North: Take the M9 on to the M80(A80) and then proceed on to the M8 motorway. (Traffic from Fife can follow signs for the Kincardine Bridge and then join the M876). Exit the M8 at junction 17 and follow signs for the city centre. From Edinburgh and the North East England: Take the M8 and exit at junction 17 following signs for the city centre. East Lothian and Northumberland traffic on the A1 can take the A720 Edinburgh City By-pass to join the M8. Tyneside traffic can take the A69 Carlisle Road and join the M6 at junction 44 and proceed on to the A74(M) northbound, then take the M73 and M8. |
