Was a pacer so place was free.  Cost seems reasonable for price on closed roads.

Registration straight forward and effective.

It finishes in a huge Park with plentiful on things to keep the kids going if they are waiting for you. Main town about 1.5km from the park if cold etc.

Lots of stalls and a live band this year also.  So zero complaints from the better half.  You also have view over the castle.

Start line is about a km walk from the park in which you end.  So OK.

Considering the local topology it manages to be fairly flat.  not flat flat. Worst bit in the half at least being the last km or so... Akin to the end of Leicester if you know it.

However the crowds on this section are great.

Out the backend not much support but you get wonderful views of the Scottish country side.

One section around a school is a big strange but OK.

Only down side was the attitude of some of the Marathon runners coming through the half marathon field. 95% are fine.  5% swing the I'm better then you half lot so move.. The worse of which being a 100 marathon member. You think they would know better.... This has nothing to do with the race as the half people where given fair warning and I'm sure the full crew where also informed... 

Can be a little off putting seeing multiple mile signs as well.
