Carlisle Rd, Abington, original A74

This was the approach to Abington from Glasgow, whilst the road from Edinburgh came in from the left. This is just a stub now, gated at its north end. Does anyone know when this ceased to be the route north from Abington? I'm guessing when the 1990s M74 opened here.

Carlisle Rd, Abington (original A74)

Looking north, the road curves round to the left where it is gated, at what looks like an old junction with the 1960s A74.

Old A74 slip road, Abington

The old A74 Carlisle Rd, Abington is gated at its north end. Through the gate looking south is some evidence of an old sliproad, I assume onto the 1960s A74 on top of which the M74 was built at this point. Further along here on the left are some old crash barriers which would reinforce this theory

Carlisle Rd, Abington (original A74)

Looking north again, the old NSL signs are rather supefluous, and nature is gradually reclaiming the roadwidth

Old A74, Abington

This was the old junction at Abington, looking north. Glasgow A74 to the left, Edinburgh to the right. Now the road up to the left is just a stub, and the road to the right goes up to the roundabout at Abington service area.
