If this in Edinburgh Park, then IIRC all the parking/roads in the business park are privately managed, the PI has a registration system for residents and the station car park is £4 per day, which can be booked through an app/website.

The nearest city park and ride to the airport does not allow multi-day parking and IIRC shuts overnight.

IITC, although the Trams go-off around midnight, the Airline 100 bus does operate 24/7 from Waverley/Haymarket although after some point, it does run half-hourly through the night.

So you can get out there without too much hassle.

Lists the length you can park up for. Some do not allow overnight parking.

thank you . shame that there is nothing free overnight like this in Lanarkshire

That's in Eurocentral ... AFAIK there are no parking restrictions, and I think normal traffic rules apply. (e.g. the police sometimes run speed checks on McNeil Drive ... or they used to when traffic was a nightmare on the M8 when the roads upgrade project was underway so people used Eurocentral as a rat-run).

It's not exactly a handy place to leave you car for Edinburgh Airport though ... or are you planning to get the 900 airport bus that stops at the Maxim Business Park?

(I work not far from there so I know the area reasonably well).

why cant I? How do I know who owns the land / road?

If it's private land.. why should they have to put signs up telling people not to park there? I don't have sign in my driveway buit I'd be annoyed if someone parked there and went on holiday

how do I know who owns it tho?

You don't need to know who owns it. You just need to be able to distinguish between (a) public roads and (b) things which aren't public roads, which is generally done using your common sense.

If you have a specific location in mind, post the details here and we'll try to help.

I think its a public one -  ML1 4UF - end of this road .thanks!

Assuming you mean on the road itself (rather than the car park), yes, that's a public road (you can look it up yourself here: https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/roads-streetlighting-and-parking/roads-north-lanarkshire ) and there are no marked parking restrictions. So would be fine.

Legally, should be fine. 

Practically, I wouldn't expect it to be in one piece when I came back to it if I'd left it there for 2 weeks.

£60! for 2 weeks!! If you think that is expensive, check out charges at Gatwick!!!

Leaving a car for any length of time at a place where you have no "right" to leave a car can have issues, clamping, removal, vandalism, theft

Clamping?

In Scotland, in exceptional cases, the police, the local council or the DVLA can clamp or get cars towed away on private land

It's a public road.

We know that now, but when I originally posted about clamping the OP hadn't specified whether or not it was public road, private road or private land
