The first car park, the one outside the barrier which closes at 10pm,now has a notice stating that the overnight charge is £5, ticket to be obtained from the security cabin.
Is this a recent thing, and is it actually checked? How do you pay if they have already closed for the night?
I'd like to hear from anybody who has recently overnighted there.

I think we’re going to find a lot more places in Scotland cashing in on the motorhomers. It’s easier to charge people than to ban them.

Hi gordon the 5 pound overnight car park, is that the one on the right hand side

Thanks Gordon, it's still not clear how they collect it for arrivals after 10pm,unless security are on site 24 hours.
It looks as though a note needs to be added to the POI entry.

The notice says it is locked at 10.00pm so you won't be able to get in afterwards.

No, as I said in the original post, this is for the first car park before you get to the barrier. All vehicles are cleared from the main car park before the barrier is locked at 10pm

Sorry. I'm sure they'll find a way.
