Not the best experience we've had

This is an excellent site with a great location with regard to proximity to Edinburgh. The problem for us was the security of the site as the area within which it is located is very poor. In the early hours of our first night here, thieves tried to steal our expensive mountain bikes. They cut through three steel ropes with bolt croppers and only woke us up when our motorhome moved when they tried to yank the bike from it's holder. Luckily for us, they were unsuccessful, others were not so lucky on that night or the following one. If you have expensive bikes, you will need chain type locks to ensure that they are secure. We are told by the site that nothing like this has ever happened before and we certainly hope that it never happens again. We also witnessed a couple of strange activities. The afternoon before the thefts we saw a man walking along the grass behind the vans (very unusual and not the done thing), we believed they were casing the joint ready for the night time thefts. Be vigilant in the afternoons in case you see this type of behaviour. The target of the thefts was clearly expensive bikes. This note is not to put you off staying on this brilliant site but be mindful of your own security of your property when you choose to stay here. Other than our bad luck, the site was beautiful, clean and tidy. The staff were brilliant and it breaks my heart to have to write my previous statement. The area around the site is not good but there are many easy ways to access Edinburgh and the surrounding area. We stayed for four nights in the end. There is a lot of flight noise from the airport and a bit of a smell of aviation fuel at times. The pitch sizes were generous and they were well laid out.
