This has actually put me off from buying anything bulky !
But you do have a fair shot at getting a parking place reasonably close to an entrance IF you work out how the car park flow pattern works. There is also quite a decent selection of eateries in the shopping centre.

The having to carry a heavy item business does mean that even quite desirable boat anchors are likely to have their prices marked down a lot towards the end (after the raffle) as is usual at rallies. I confess to using this ploy to pick up bargains. However, the people in Glasgow are pretty generous. Ordinary shoppers have seen me lugging a hefty sig gen and offered to help! Two people, each with a hand on a side handle makes all the difference in the world.
