scotrail kids go free tickets on the day at unmanned stations?

Hi all,

Travelling from Musselburgh to Edinburgh and return by train in a couple of weeks time. I notice there is a good price for us, one adult and one child aged 14, with the "kids go free 1" return ticket.

Musselburgh is an unmanned station, with only ticket machines. Can I buy a kids go free 1 return ticket on the day at the ticket machine, or do I need to do so in advance and then collect the tickets from the machine?

eta - i just phoned Scotrail customer service enquiries, they have told me I can try the ticket machine and see if the kids go free option comes up, and if it doesn't I can sort it out on the train - does this sound right? Sorry I have no idea, usually if we're travelling by train its long-distance, not local, and we've sorted out our tickets weeks in advance.
