Getting Around Key
Travelling east to west and vice versa can be Motorway (highway)
problematic as all the main routes run north–south Major road
from Edinburgh and Glasgow to England. There are Minor road
rural bus services but these tend to be infrequent and
slow. Rail links down the east coast from Edinburgh Other road
are good, while a service to Galashiels, which opened in Scenic route
2015, makes the Scottish Borders even more accessible Main line railway
from the capital. In the west, travellers can enjoy Minor railway
frequent rail services from Glasgow to Ayrshire and to Summit
Stranraer, the ferry port for Northern Ireland. Exploring
scenic areas away from the coasts is best done by car.
