The Ultimate Highlands Experience is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Ultimate Highlands Experience's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through FareHarbor.

## What to fix first
- **No tickets and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 01312261414, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 0131 225 4448. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one £64.45.** 

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Tickets through fareharbor on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
