Very little traffic on here I probably saw maybe 10 or 15 cars the whole time I was here, though I was here 11am on a workday. Got picked up by a German couple who took me all the way to Edinburgh!

Decently busy road. Cars can pull into the entrance into the inn. You could also get cars coming out of the carpark. Got us right into city centre

Not the best spot but there is a place to stop and if you are really struglling its a bus stop (there is no signs but it is) so you can catch a bus. Carw going pretty fast and a bit uphill so probably not the most keen to catch. I was during ofseason so not that much traffic but eventually somebody should stop but this is not that rural road that everyone would pick you up

Many people offered a ride south, but no one was going north. Eventually I got a pity-ride to another service station (by a very nice person).
