You're the one throwing out links and preaching the legalities of travel on a web page that has 'guidance' in the title, rather than being the legislation.
Please post up the legislation, quoting exactly what is and isn't allowed?
I take it you're a legal professional given you're dishing out advice on travel allowed?

Restrictions on entering Level 4 area
15.—(1) A person who does not live in a Level 4 area must not enter or remain in that area.
It's this legislation: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2020/344/contents
and particularly, this part:
All regions of mainland Scotland are currently level 4.
Quoting that one point in 15 makes it sound like we're trapped in Scotland and there's no travel allowed
There's also a large section on reasons you can travel to/from Scotland
People should read up on this and make their own decision.
Put the wall back up!
Driving 4+ hours in a decent truck is far more comfortable / less taxing than the same time spent in a decent car, yes the truck is arguably more risky but the field of vision makes for a far more relaxing drive, you simply have a perspective no car driver gets, it makes the world of difference.
As for the OP, M6, M74 every time.
Just go with whatever route Waze says is the best and you won’t go wrong.
In terms of the length of the drive, I reckon you’ll be fine. I do those kinds of distances every month or two with no issues, just need to make sure you get a good night’s sleep beforehand and take a break if you feel tired.
Is he back yet?
I actually feel worse if I take a break, takes me ages to get back in to it again.Gonna be different for everyone - personally it doesn't really hit me until I stop - the moment it is over I just wipe out. I could probably drive for 2 days straight with no significant impairment (I wouldn't try it casually) but the recovery wouldn't be pretty. Same with long distance travel in general I'm just too wired once on the journey I can't sleep on trains or planes, etc. as long as I stray hydrated I'm fine until I get to my destination then just crash.

Which bike are you collecting?
which van type ? transits I've used for moving, are nice to drive, but, might be noisy on a M-way.to rent the van.
the eye tracking cameras (in most lorries now ?) will soon tell us private drivers if we are awake + lane keeping tech.Yeah like Geekman said - if I'm concentrating on a task I can go on and on, as soon as I take a break, etc. it catches up with me.
