Yes quite a few, but we arrived before 10am loads of parking on the top, but come 12 it was starting to get busy

I lived there from late Aug 1977 (2 weeks after Elvis died) until I went in the Merchant Navy at 16 1984, my parents moved to Devon then, and then 2 years later to Lockerbie

As an old goth myself, just curious why goths would be there? Obviously Samhain/Halloween, but why “there”? I’m American, so I’m not familiar. Thanks!!
