Many Glasgow Hospitals had ticket machines up till a couple of years ago and the nearest to me the GRI has its own multi storey car park which I am not sure if it is free.

In fact there are charges at most Glasgow hospitals

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has a Car Parking Policy in place at hospital sites where the demand for spaces outweighs availability. The arrangements are designed to balance the needs of staff, patients and visitors and ensure our car parks continue to be fairly and effectively managed.
A 4 hour maximum stay in patient and visitor car parks operates Monday to Friday (7.30am – 4.30pm). This does not affect the vast majority of patients and visitors and arrangements can be made for the small number who require to park for longer than 4 hours.. The maximum stay does not apply to designated staff car parks set aside for permit and non-permit holding staff.
