Subject: Borders area

If any of you are arriving via Newcastle airport (England) and driving up into Scotland from there, you are welcome to contact me for information on routes etc. I live about 4 miles from Newcastle airport. The A1 is the main road up to Edinburgh, but the scenic A696 and A68 are much nicer ways to cross the border, and there are some interesting historic border villages in which you can have tea/coffee or stay overnight. I enjoy watching the English architecture gradually fading out and being replaced by Scots, (and vice versa on the way home) - you can tell that the border moved several times over hundreds of years.
The A69 route would enable you to see Hadrian's Wall on the way, but the less known Military Road actually runs right next to the Wall.
