Description

In this episode of the Scottish Roadscast Stuart and John consider the history of the A8 between Edinburgh and Greenock. Once the most important route across Scotland, it's now split into a variety of sections built between the 1920s and the 1980s. This month's "From the Archive" features a government report released in November 1999 entitled "Travel Choices for Scotland". You can follow along as always at scottishroadsarchive.org/roadscast.
