Game: Name that road!

[Mr Celine]

Yes, definitely one of those three!

It's not the Borders. But that does still leave the rest of the southern uplands, lowlands and highlands.

We're narrowing it down now. I wouldn't go too far north in your search.

The B740 heading north from Sanquhar, just beyond the point where the Cog Burn joins the Crawick Water:

I thought from the start it looked like the Southern Uplands; the exchange above gave me the confidence to look a little harder.

Rats. I thought it was Lanarkshire around Wanlockhead but the tarmac is the wrong colour, so tried the Dumfriesshire side of the Dalveen and Mennock passes before work got in the way.

Time's a bit pressing, so I'll resort to Street View again. This should be findable, but I won't leave you up in the air too long:

You were just one valley away. I was staying near Wanlockhead at the time and rode back up the Mennock pass.

I'd check the map but my tea'll go cold.

I was looking along the A48 north of the Severn,but can't find anything like this either

 

[Aravis]

It's not the land of St George, but it could possibly be his road.

 

[swansonj]

I give you St George's Road, in Ayr (Air).

Yeah, that's a perfect match, that is.

Is that a Boundary Stone or Milestone to the right of the street name sign.

If I'm looking at the right thing, it turns out to be this:

 

[Dogtrousers]

Yuk. Nasty potholes.

Incidentally I initially had a brief look around the coast road around Ayr which looked promising-ish. But no luck.

 

[Mr Celine]

It reminds me of the A9 along the Cromarty Firth, but it's not that either.

Are those pavements at the side of the road or Northern Irish style hard shoulders?
