| School holiday tip | Late August is the sweet spot for English/Welsh visitors: Scottish schools are back by mid-August while England/Wales are still on holiday. Early July is the Scottish local peak, so go midweek. Indoor venue: wet half-term days cause surges; check the forecast. |

| Parking | Car park at owner's risk; enter your registration in the café area or risk a private parking fine. (Not stated) |
