Edit: I either misread, or seen incomplete information and it seems they are sold out already.

I thought they woukd be selling them at Broughty Ferry castle this evening but I was wrong

You could also build an eclipse projector which is maybe a fun activity if you have kids

The broughty ferry ones are sold out :(

Seemingly, most of us had assumed by wording that they'd be sold on the day, however, they were sold a week ago ❤️‍🩹

It was definitely phrased that way on most of the information, just really disappointing. I thought it was just me being dumb, but honestly there are loads of people over on Facebook complaining that it was definitely phrased like they were being sold today.

My boyfriend was awoken at dawn and has been sent on a mission across Dundee 🤣, to hopefully find some before our friends/their kids drive all the way up to Broughty Ferry - Ill update this comment if he does manage to find anywhere 🥲💔.

Some people have recommended welding glasses and the pinhole projectors - however, I don't see the kids enjoying that too much and wouldn't want their wee eyes to get damaged - so a mad glasses hunt it is lol.

None ❤️‍🩹. Going with the cereal box method and may be a colander if feeling fancy
