* the A68, which heads due south through the Borders
* the A1, which follows the east coastline. There has been some success getting on the A1 from Tranent: a safer bet is to take the bus 44c from st.Andrews square to Musselburgh, get off before the crossing of the River Esk, and walk south along the river towards the A1. There is a service station there: on occasion rides also go from there down the A74 and the A68.
-> to get on the A1 from tranent is pretty easy: take the bus number 26 that says tranent on it, from the center, it goes through portobello Portobello and musselburgh Musselburgh in case you're located there. get Get off the bus after 30-40 min, ask the driver for the last stop before the bus crosses the A1. walk Walk alongside the road there and go left on the roundabout and you're already on the sliproad to the A1. you You can try it on the road onto it, cause cars are going more slowly, or you just walk til the end of the sliproad and you find the first layby just about a few metres further on, you can see it as you walk along from further away. here Here you can get the cars from both directions.
Some anonymous hitchhiker joined the southbound M74 by hitching down the A702. Just catch the bus #4 of Dalry rd for 1.20 and get off where the circle Edinburgh city bypass loop passes under a bridge (about 30 mins on the bus). Walk south through two roundabouts and there's a good place to hitch as the cars exit the second roundabout straight onto the A702. This hitching spot has lots of room for cars to pull in as it's parking for a golf course on the west side of the road and some ski slope thingy. You'll see. Some anonymous hitchhiker hitched here twice. First time took 10 mins, second took about 50. Probably be quicker for a girl.
