Patricia’s X SLB, Govanhill, Glasgow
God forbid you should have to park your engine of economic generation for any length of time in Govanhill. Nae spaces here pal.

The Route 74 Truckstop is clearly signposted from either direction on the M74 and has a free carpark. ‘Everyone Welcome’ it says by the door just in case you suffer from semiochodriverphobia.
