Permits & Access for Caravan Transport in Dumfries & Galloway
The Scottish leg of a cross-border move is notified through Police Scotland. The M74/A74(M) from Carlisle gives fast access east, the A75 runs west to Stranraer, and the A7 is a common cross-border route. The terrain is gentler than the Highlands, so only the final coastal lanes need a close look.
Static caravans are abnormal loads, so the STGO notification to Police Scotland and the mandatory escort are handled by your transporter as part of the job — typically allow 5 to 10 working days for processing.
