Edinburgh to Blyth and they didn't take the opportunity to go to Morpeth.
Still some SCR interest since they will be in the Ribble Valley.

I consistently find the Scottish stages disappointing.
At least the capital will get a look in this year, but not at a weekend, so crowds won't be great. But why doesn't the race ever head north? The borders are pleasant enough, don't get me wrong, but why have we never had a Lowther Hill summit finish, or a stage from Stirling north through the Trossachs, or from Aberdeen through the Cairngorms, or from Glasgow through Glencoe?
Instead it just seems to be Dumfries on a wet Wednesday every year.0
