Can you enter and leave TRNSMT as Scotland's biggest music festival one day away?
TRNSMT, the country's biggest music festival, is just one day away. The three-day music event will hitch up in Glasgow from July 11-13 for a weekend takeover of Glasgow Green with headliners including 50 Cent and Biffy Clyro.
Snow Patrol, The Script, Fontaines D.C. and Gracie Abrams will also grace the stage. And those who have been counting down the days until TRNSMT will be happy to hear that they will be able to enjoy listening to a variety of their favourite artists in the glorious sunshine this weekend as mercury levels are set to rise as high as 28C.
Glasgow is predicted to be hotter than Tenerife, so festival-goers will need to make sure they stay hydrated and slathered in sun cream as the city is hit with a mini heatwave.
Aside from that, music lovers may be wondering how to get to and from the event, what items are banned from the grounds, expert tips for preparation and recovery, and how safe the festival actually is.
The Record has provided answers to the majority of these questions, as well as providing the food and drink vendor list for 2025 - from boujee burgers to South Asian street food - and explaining where you can watch it on TV.
But what about entering and leaving TRNSMT?
There are many reasons why Scots might need to come and go. Family emergencies, topping up on hydration supplies, meeting up with friends who happen to be in town that day, or simply having a breather may play a part.
However, TRNSMT have confirmed that there is no re-entry allowed once you're in the festival site.
That means that once you're in, you're in for the day.
Of course, attendees may leave whenever they want, but once they have left the grounds, they can't come back in.
This applies even if you still have your ticket, according to the event's website. This policy applies to all ticket holders, including VIP ticket holders.
There is no re-admission with tickets, therefore ticket holders who leave the event will not be permitted to re-enter.
In general, it's crucial to know what to expect ahead of the festival.
One vital thing to be aware of is how you can pay for food and drink on the festival grounds.
Many venues and events have opted to go completely cashless these days, especially after the pandemic.
Age restrictions are also something to keep in mind.
All festival attendees must be a minimum of 16-years-old, and ID may be required upon entry to the site.
A driving licence or provisional licence, or an ID with an intact PASS logo, such as a Young Scot Card, can be used as valid ID. For some other frequently asked questions on the festival's website, please click here.

Five reasons why Scots could be refused entry to Spain or Greece
New rules will soon come into play, following Brexit Scots heading to Spain, Greece and other popular destinations could soon be refused entry for five reasons, according to travel experts. One of these includes making a mistake when filling out an application most UK travellers will soon need to complete. Post-Brexit rules dictate that anyone travelling on a British passport to the Schengen area, which comprises around 25 EU countries and four other nations, will soon need an European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) - a new travel permit that will become a requirement from 2027. Only children and those aged over 70 will be exempt. EU leaders said earlier this year the ETIAS scheme, being introduced to enhance security, will be launched in the last quarter of 2026, after a number of postponements. However due to a transitional and grace period, the necessity to apply for an ETIAS before departure won't become mandatory until 2027. The roll-out of ETIAS is tied to the implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES), and each permit will cost 20 euros. After numerous postponements, the EU has agreed to gradually introduce the EES from October this year. It will be required for travel to and between the following nations: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. If you're journeying to a Schengen area destination with a UK passport, you'll be required to register your biometric information, including fingerprints or photographs, when you arrive. The EES registration will substitute the existing method of manually stamping passports when tourists enter the EU. Having a valid ETIAS travel authorisation permits multiple entries into the territories of participating European nations for brief visits, typically up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Most ETIAS applications are handled and approved "almost immediately", but mistakes in your application could result in refusal. Without a valid ETIAS, you'll be refused entry to countries like France, Spain and Italy, and SchengenVisaInfo has outlined five reasons why your ETIAS application might be rejected. These include not filling out the application properly, being flagged as a "risk", having a flag against your name in the Schengen Information System (SIS), or not attending an interview when invited to do so. If your ETIAS application is denied, you have the right to challenge the decision.

Inside Scotland's shark hotspots – as expert reveals where to find world's second-largest fish
Shark Week has been a Discovery Channel staple for nearly 40 years. Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MARINE expert has called on Scots to get their teeth into Shark Week - so they learn more about the amazing big fish in Scottish waters. Dr James Thorburn, of Edinburgh Napier University, reckons people assume they have to travel thousands of miles to find interesting aquatic life. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Basking Shark feeding on plankton during the bloom in the Scottish waters off the Isle of Coll.

Credit: Alamy But he insists there's plenty of amazing animals much closer to home that would get people hooked on learning more about what's under the sea. And there's no better time than Shark Week - a Discovery Channel staple for nearly 40 years. James, Associate Professor in Marine Ecology, said: "Sharks are often deeply misunderstood, largely due to their portrayal in films and television as mindless killers, as seen in movies like Jaws and other shark-attack thrillers. "These depictions fuel fear rather than understanding, even though shark attacks are incredibly rare and most species - such as those in Scottish waters - pose no threat to humans. "Events like Shark Week can be a double-edged sword: while some content still leans into sensationalism that can support misconceptions and fears about these animals, it also serves as a powerful platform to educate the public, highlight the ecological importance of sharks, and promote conservation." The academic points out that Scotland is home to certain species that have been almost entirely eradicated elsewhere in the world. While there's others that will swim in and out of our shores depending on the time of year that are more difficult to catch a glimpse of. He said: "Scotland's waters host a remarkable number of sharks, skates, and rays, collectively known as elasmobranchs, with over 60 recorded species, ranging from permanent residents to occasional visitors. "Among Scotland's most iconic elasmobranchs is the basking shark, the second-largest fish in the world, growing up to 11 metres. Seasonal visitors to our waters, their appearance provides valuable opportunities to study their migratory patterns and ecological role, particularly in hotspots such as the Sea of the Hebrides. "The porbeagle shark is another amazing species found in Scottish waters year-round. They are more commonly found off the north and west coasts, particularly around Orkney, Shetland, and the Minch. Surfer is HEADBUTTED by airborne shark & says 'I'm happy its mouth wasn't open' "Another flagship species is the critically endangered flapper skate, Europe's largest skate, which can reach lengths of over 2.5 metres. Once widespread across Europe, flapper skate populations have drastically declined due to historical overfishing, leaving Scotland as one of their last strongholds." Recent advancements in technology also mean that finding sharks and identifying the species has never been easier - even though it's still a tricky task. He added: "Recent developments have significantly advanced our understanding of Scotland's sharks, skates, and rays. Surveys and research have shown that Scotland's sea lochs and deep inshore waters are vital habitats for elasmobranchs. "The Firth of Lorn supports a resident population of flapper skate, while Loch Etive has emerged as a key site for spurdog, a small shark species present in coastal waters year-round. "Large numbers of skate egg cases have been discovered at key nursery sites such as the Inner Sound of Skye, prompting protection. "Innovative tools like AI-powered photo ID and citizen science collaborations with anglers are tracking individual animals and mapping movements. Scotland's Shark Species There's a number of sharks that are found in Scottish waters. Here's some of the most interesting. Basking shark Basking sharks are the second-largest fish in the world but usually only eat plankton by swimming through the water with their mouths wide open. You're most likely to see this species just off the Scottish shoreline in summer since the temperatures are warmer. Their hotspots are in the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Hebrides. Porbeagle shark A bit chunkier than your average shark, this species can be found several miles offshore because they prefer the deeper water there. They like to eat mackerel and herring and will also feed on bottom-dwelling fish too. The porbeagle shark is closely related to the great white shark as both are from the Lamnidae family Shortfin mako shark Mako's are also unlikely to attack humans and typically make seasonal appearances in Scottish waters. They are one of the fastest shark species in the world and can survive in much colder waters - raising their body temperature higher than that of the depths. They're found in many different parts of the world - including off the coast of Aberdeen more recently after an oil rig worker filmed one. Dogfish shark While most sharks have blue or grey colouring, dogfish sharks have tan bodies with dark brown spots. They usually only grow up to 3ft in length and fishermen often see them as nuisances, because they can get caught in fishing nets or take bait meant for much larger fish. It's not easy to spot them because they prefer sandy ground and tend to live and feed close to the seabed. "These efforts highlight strong site fidelity, seasonal patterns, and even international connectivity with waters around Europe, underscoring the need for cross-border conservation." James credits Scotland for being proactive in its conservation efforts to protect sharks and other species. For example, the Loch Sunart to the Sound of Jura MPA has seen flapper skate numbers increase since restrictions on mobile fishing gear were introduced. While Red Rocks and Longay, on the Inner Sound of Skye, was declared a Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area (MPA) after the discovery of an exceptional flapper skate egg nursery. The Sea of the Hebrides MPA is also protecting basking shark hotspots, while several areas within Scottish Seas were proposed for the global Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRAs) initiative that aims to identify the world's most important zones for conservation. Despite all of the impressive work that's already been done, James wants to see more collaboration on conservation efforts to ensure sharks remain in Scottish waters for a long time to come. He said: "Historically, angler-based projects like the Scottish Shark Tagging Programme and the Glasgow Museum Tagging projects helped designate current MPAs for elasmobranchs. "More recently, research on sharks, skates, and rays in Scotland is rapidly expanding, driven by both academic initiatives and citizen science. "A wide range of technologies is being used to enhance our understanding of these elusive species, including sophisticated tags to track movements, genetics to understand how populations are connected, underwater cameras to observe these animals in their natural habitat, and artificial intelligence to help us fully investigate the data generated from this technology. "Organisations like the Orkney Skate Trust are also collecting regional data on sharks, skates and rays to enhance our understanding of these species in Island regions. "The other great thing in Scotland is that people work together on large projects such as the MASTS-funded SharkScape project - led by Edinburgh Napier University. This collaborative approach is generating high-quality scientific data while raising public awareness and strengthening conservation efforts. "Together, these efforts are building a much clearer picture of how elasmobranchs use Scottish waters, informing better management and protection."

Scots dad scoops £1million lottery win with plans to build ultimate 'man cave'
The former lorry driver is now a millionaire and is ticking off items on his wish list. A Scots dad has built his dream 'man cave' after scooping a massive £1million lottery win. Ally Gilmour, a former lorry driver from Carluke, Lanarkshire recently gave up his long-term career due to his ill health, matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball - making him a millionaire. The 57-year-old has played the game since The National Lottery launched over 30 years ago and he couldn't wait to tell his family the life changing news. His big win has allowed him to tick off various items on his wish list- including a new garden cabin which he dubbed his 'man cave'. He said, 'I've been wanting somewhere to socialise in the garden for years – it's all a part of Scottish culture to have your friends come for a beer or two in the garden, for a laugh and some TV.' Ally's grand plans for the 'man cave' would give some local pubs a run for their money. He plans to completely kit it out with a darts board, pool table, TV, games machine, and a small bar to enjoy. After a chaotic few months, he is looking forward to having somewhere to relax and spend time with his family. Ally's fortune changed late on Saturday night as he headed to bed, but sleep quickly became the last thing on his mind. He said: 'When I checked my account and saw that the numbers matched up, I just sat there staring at it. It's safe to say I couldn't sleep after that.' Ally called his daughter Siobhan at 6am to ask her to come round and help him confirm it with The National Lottery. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The 34-year-old was in no rush, so he rang again at 8am at which point he was starting to get hungry. Thankfully, Siobhan was in a café picking up some breakfast and asked Ally if he wanted anything. He jokingly requested, 'A roll with a square sausage - and some caviar. Don't you know I'm a millionaire?!' Once the win was confirmed, Ally couldn't contain his excitement. He said: 'I went out into the garden and shouted, 'I've won the lottery!' at the top of my lungs. I wanted the whole world to know. It was an incredible feeling' Ally, who had been working as a long-distance HGV driver, recently stepped away from his job due to health problems. He said: 'It was tough coming to terms with not being able to work anymore. This win takes all that pressure away. I can finally focus on my health without the worry.' Ally's wife, Anne,57, and their daughter and grandson are also set to benefit from the life-changing prize. He said: 'It's not just about me - it's for the whole family. We've had a tough time recently and this gives us all an exciting fresh start.' While the couple have no plans for wild spending sprees, they have allowed themselves a few well-deserved luxuries including two brand-new matching Volkswagens.
