=== Heading South or East ===

To Galashiels / London / Borders

To get on the A702 you need to get to the Esso petrol station at Hillend. Take bus #4 from the city and get off at the first stop after the bus goes over the Edinburgh ring road. It's easy for cars to pull in outside the petrol station, and a busy road. You could also ask drivers at the petrol station. Some anonymous hitchhiker hitched here twice. First time took 10 mins, second took about 50. Probably be quicker for a girl. As an Edinburgh local and someone who has hitchhiked from Edinburgh before I completely agree with this. One piece of advice though - make sure that the person picking you up is going a reasonable distance as you do not want to get stranded somewhere in the Boarders of Scotland (it can be pretty remote)! You get people going almost going as far as London/Dover for work/holidays as the A702 eventually leads onto the [[M74 (GB)]].
