It is clear that the percentage of visitors to both the castle andt the zoo were on an upward trend throughout the period, while the aquarium and the festival saw a decline in tourist numbers. In addition, the castle was a prominent place often visited by tourist.

The festival was the most popular attraction in 1980, attracting 30% of visitors to Scotland, about three times the proportion of people visiting the zoo. The proportion of visitors to the festival fell dramatically from 30% to just 17% between 1980 and 2010, while the zoo saw its proportion of visitors double, from 10% up to 20%.

In 1980, 23% of visitors visited the castle, reaching a peak of 45% in 1995 before falling slightly to 33% in 2010. The proportion of visitors to the aquarium increased from 20% to 35% in the first 5 years but then dropped sharply to less than 10% in the last year of this period.
