  1. Can anyone tell me, if car parking charges have been
    implemented at the main car park? And if so. What charges
    are imposed too backpackers that leave their vehicle there
    overnight or even longer?

    TIA

    The sign says £2 a visit - I interpreted it to not mean a
    day. I left my car in the same position for four days
    without any problem.

    Alternative solution is to borrow someone's National Trust
    membership card and stick that on your dashboard.

    Are National Trust and National Trust Scotland
    interchangeable as far as free entry to things go?


    Yes - and National Trust for Wales.

    I was there last year (summer) and only noticed the sign re
    charging on return. I did not feel the slightest bit guilty
    about not paying. Then I realised I was an NTS member
    anyway........

    LOL! I figured that out "borrow ", when the proposals were
    made;-) Thank God, for my in-laws, who've lent me their NTS
    membership card :-0

    Therefore no meters are in place then? As of 7/05/2004!

    From the NT handbook: "Members of the National Trust are
    also admitted free of charge to properties of the National
    Trust for Scotland, a separate charity with similar
    responsibilities."

    I used to be a member of the NTS and a similar arrangement
    applies to properties in England and Wales.

    Mmm, I've got a date of 25th September for a walk including
    Ben Macdui, I'm convinced there were pay-and-display
    machines on site. I could be wrong and confusing the car
    park with the one out at Spittal of Glenmuick.

    LOL. Autumn then ;-) I was there in July 2003, signs were
    displayed advising of the charging policy and new layout of
    the Car/ P only.
