M6 north, then M74 to Glasgow then across to Edinburgh. Bit further but motorway all the way.

Personally I'd avoid the M1 as it becomes the A1 which is single carriageway for a considerable distance, so takes forever.

The M74 is now motorway all the way it opened yesterday and would be the quickest rout

Or turn off onto the A7 at Carlisle to Hawick Galashiels then Edinburgh thats if your not in a hurry.

were going to kirkcaldy but  have to cross over from glassgow toward edinburgh to get over the road bridge.  its the cross over we dont like we have done motorway crossing and the cenict rouit thanks to last years nutty sat nav that sent us of  at moffitt heading for Edinburgh lol.

   yep were towing the caravan.

  speeds not an issue if its a nice drive on the A1 as captin slows driving so its allway 55mph maxs

  the drive up the m6 and m74 ok but its the bit at the top  that we dont like

M6 M74 M8 left turn before Edinburgh city bypass and over the bridge

This rout is taken from the centre of Manchester, so just head for the M6

we dont get to Kelty which ever way you go you turn of at the  m92 before then. shaps enghe for our old banger lol.   were heading for sterlings hafe way through our trip not towing to pick or son up her lives there and take him back  after a few days. 

  last year the old wonky sat nav too us off at the A701 moffet up to the A702 then round the relife rd to the road brige some of the rds were no more than one way tracks and we climed so many hills i was i a real state when we got there we even found the sauce of a river we were that high up. this year were not doing that again so i am going to make sure we get there the easyest and nicest route.  allso have a new sat nav but dont realy trust them anymore

M60 - M61 - M6 - M74

to go up the a1 m1 is sheer madness and crap!!!
