Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

- “Following the cessation of Visit Scotland's rating scheme in 2024, our current 5-star rating remains valid until 31 March 2026. The Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions (ASVA) plans to introduce a new rating system, with which we intend to comply. Additionally, we received the highest score in the outdoor attraction sector from Mystery Visitor Benchmarking and ranked third overall in their top ten sites.”
