Sat May 25th our planned ride down from the capital to Moffat on the A701 ground to a halt at Broughton where an advisory roadsign announced a closure a Tweedsmuir, 10 miles ahead
OK, a 20 mile re-routing via Biggar sorted the issue but there was no prior warning on Google Maps or ViaMichelin
Subsequent investigation reveals that only https://www.roadworksscotland.org showed the 15 day closure and other details
Perhaps the above site is worth a quick look before setting off on those Scottish roads where diversions can involve a mile munching re-routing
