These four villages are little visited by outsiders but their names will be known to anyone who zooms by on the M74 on their way to Carlisle or Glasgow. Bypassed in the 1950s, before that they were sustained by the business generated by being on the main road north or south. Indeed the route is ancient and was used in the Bronze Age and by the Romans so these villages have plenty of older history. All this and more is featured in the book amongst a wealth of period photos.
