Concluding a great weekend exploring the abandoned side of the Scottish lowlands, we decided to go to the theme park! Loudoun Castle has the bizarre claim to fame of having been featured in Only Fools And Horses when it was in it's original location in Margate. This was before it was decided that what an unprofitable theme park needed was relocating 30 miles south of Glasgow. It appears this was a mistake as 'Scotland's best family theme park' closed it's gates in 2010.

I can't describe just how much fun and how strange it was wandering around having the entire place to ourselves - climbing the rollercoasters and resisting the urge to press the start button on the log flume. On top of everything, you don't get charged £5 for a photo at the end of the ride doing it the UE way :)
