WTF? Is there some fundamental rule that I haven't been told about where if you see cones you just disregard them and chuck them to the side?

Shant be paying.

Hmm bit harsh i think i would have moved the cones or just parked in the middle of them..

why can't a bike park in a car space anyhow ? what if the bike park is full etc.. Question

You weren't there right? You've not been to a hospital in years. All good.

Depends who runs the parking racket there - my Google-fu is failing to discover that.

I wouldn't ignore it, but don't expect it to be fun: the Scottish Parking Appeals Service doesn't even have a web site. Pale

Forget about the circumstances, i.e. the cones. Focus on the procedural stuff, i.e. the "contract" that they'll say you entered into.

Do you have a picture of the speculative invoice? Did you take any pictures of the signs at the site?
