The M74 is the main road between Scotland and England, running south from Glasgow past Hamilton to Abington, where the A74(M) carries it on past Lockerbie to meet the M6 at Gretna. Beattock summit on that stretch climbs to over 1,000 feet, and high winds there restrict high-sided vehicles most winters. Live incidents, journey times and closures refresh every 5 minutes.
