Fantastic spot! Great traffic flow on a Saturday. Bring a sign because traffic could be going a lot of different directions.―Ryancomet

I had bad luck hitching at the services, so I tried the hotel. Not great, but I got a long ride to Glasgow. So a win.―mossenmoons

There's a traffic light for the traffic going down to the M8 direction Ednburgh... walking on the side of the road showing a sign when the light is read should work. I waited 15 minutes to get a lift to Edinburgh but I was proposed almost immediately a lift to Stirling.―Anonymous

One time I waited here 15 minutes for a ride, another time I waited 6 hours, on average its 2-3 hours. Really hit and miss at this place. Get there as early as possible if you can and hope to get a ride quickly.―Haggismn

We waited about 45 mins., holding a sign "Aberdeen". Many people just shook their heads, saying "no", many pointed at us and laughed as if we were animals in a zoo. Only one guy stopped, but he told us he's for Manchester.―AvalancheMaster

put on your backpack a paper with big black M74 and just walk from the centre along the London Rd. it works―Anonymous
