M&D’s saved as new management takes over theme park

Scotland’s largest theme park has been saved from administration.

New management is now in place at M&D’s in Motherwell, which plans to reopen “when restrictions have been lifted”.

In April, the park appointed administrators and announced 165 job losses after what they said had been “a challenging few years”.

However, a statement on Monday said: “We are delighted to announce that Scotland’s Theme Park has been bought out of administration and has new management in place.

“In line with Scottish Government guidelines, we are working hard behind the scenes to be able to reopen Scotland’s Theme Park as well as Devil’s Island Adventure Golf, and Amazonia when restrictions have been lifted.

“We are working within the physical distancing guidelines as outlined by the Scottish Government, as well as introducing additional hand sanitising stations located throughout the park and Amazonia and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.”
