Hi Bud, I cycled hamilton to carlisle not that long ago. I basically followed the a702, which runs right along the m74 for most of the route, it's virtually empty. I just plotted my route following that road on google maps. That'll take you through lockerbie, ecclefechan abbington etc. Its part of a cycle route which runs along the a702, so it's well signposted along the way.
