With the entrance located in an alleyway down the side of an office block, it is not the easiest car park to navigate. There are no signs pointing you toward it and you will have to do a lot of circling round. It is never really that busy, but all the spaces on the upper levels (closer to the street) seem to be taken every time we come in, forcing us to go down deeper into the bowels of this dungeon to find a space. On the very bottom level (-4) you will always find a space since not many people seem to use this car park. Try and get near the lifts if you can as the car park goes on for miles and you could easily get lost. The lifts in the top left hand corner take you to the footbridge that leads to John Lewis, the middle lifts bring you out at Leith Street and the furthest away lifts take you to the back of the Omni Centre. Once you get to the surface, you will need to hold your token against the sensor for 5 seconds in order to unlock the door to get out. Sometimes the sensor is broken and the door will be left open but it honestly feels safer with the door locked, as no dodgy people can get in. The car park is really creepy though because of how deserted it always is and I always feel quite spooked out every time we have to walk through it. The layout is better than the NCP across the street and is more logical to navigate, whereas in St James, you will be stuck on a floor if there are no spaces and a car comes up because of the badly designed two way system and narrow roads. But apart from the spookiness, the confusing lift arrangement and the prices, it is a safe place to park and you won't have to worry about your car while you are shopping.

I made a pretty substantial discovery the other day. Interested? Well, then let me continue. I…read morediscovered that the Cambridge Street Car Park (which is the one just about opposite Cowcaddens Subway Station) does a special offer on parking from 6pm to 6am. No matter how long you stay in the carpark between the two times - there's a simple flat fee of £1.50. Bargain? Bargain! That means that if you're off into town for the Cinema or the like, it's actually a LOT cheaper to drive in than it is to get the Subway or the bus. Especially if there's more than one of you. Plus, Cambridge Street carpark is brightly lit and secure - if you want to get into the building as a pedestrian you have to swipe a valid carparking ticket. It's also never busy, which means you'll always be able to get a space on the ground floor within about ten paces from the pay station. Ah, my nightly cinema trips will never be the same......

For five days this cost £20 which to me worked out really well as a taxi to/from the airport would have cost this much each way. Located about a 5 minite drive from the airport, I had little difficulty finding a parking space and the wait time for the shuttle bus was under 3 minutes. Really good for peace of mind and ensuring my car is safe whilst I'm out of the country. No issues upon return either, again the shuttle bus was prompt and I left the parking area quickly and without issue. Would definitely use again.

Tucked away in an unpromising courtyard* off Constitution Street, Donald pretty much qualifies as a one-man trade secret among the classic French car fraternity, and can most often be found in his workshop, elbow-deep in some obscure piece of automotive history**. I came to know Donald through my first car - a troublesome 1979 Austin Maxi, which he basically kept on the road for me, long beyond the point where any reasonable mechanic would have suggested we push it into a lake. He improvised, adapted and spot welded it through several MOTs before I foolishly (sensibly, really) replaced it with a Nissan Micra, which he was kind enough not to judge too harshly. Donald's very softly spoken and doesn't waste his words, but is utterly passionate about cars and a very interesting man once you get him talking. A real diamond. * A courtyard where, incidentally, several of the slum scenes for the 1997 film adaptation of Jude the Obscure were shot. ** For example, he once spent six months with half of his garage taken up by a battered-looking 2CV - one of only a handful tailor-made for use in the Sahara. Two engines, one back, one front, with linked clutch, accelerator and gear shift - essentially a 4x4 2CV.

Actually, I often park here even if I need to walk the length of the town because everywhere is within reach in 'Killie' if you're on foot. If my husband is with me, we park for free with the disabled blue badge (there are some dedicated spaces); otherwise it's 60p for one hour, £1.10 for 2, or up to 4 hours £2.20 which is very inexpensive for this day and age! It's all on one level, so not huge, but I've never had trouble finding a space here. There's another car park nearby in any case. Either can be found by joining the one-way system. Travel up John Finnie St past the station and then continue round to the right. The car parks will be seen on the right soon afterwards.
