Paid but didn't display....

Whilst on holiday we parked in a council carpark in the Scottish
Highlands.
It was clearly marked pay and display.
I had to enter car registration as part of ticket buying
process, and because of this I wrongly assumed the system worked
similar to "Ringo", ie all done electronically.
So I paid by cc and walked away from the machine, not taking or
seeing a ticket, and not giving the matter a second thought,
until I came back and I had a ticket. £100, or £50 if I paid
promptly.
I wrote to Stirling Council, showing the £4 payment on Credit
card statement.
They came back saying the offence I committed was not displaying
a ticket, not, not buying a ticket and must pay (£50)
In this respect they are correct, but I do feel somewhat hard
done by, as they are essentially exploiting £50 from me as I had
paid to park in their carpark
I'm sure similar situations have occurred before - is there any
point in objecting further, or do I just pay and feel bitter
about it.
Living in Surrey it would not be viable to travel back to
Stirling for any type of arbitration....
Does the PCN need to be signed where it says signature...?
Any guidance gratefully received.

On the link above it says paying by Ringo you do not need to
display ticket.
As you have made an informal representation you would have to
wait for Notice to Owner in the post then come back to here.
Ensure your v5C is up to date with the correct address.

The carpark was a typical old style pay and display, I wrongly
assumed that because I had to enter car reg the system was
electronic (like Ringo), so I didn't expect or see the issued
ticket...
The car was a hire car

As it's hire car the notice to owner will go to the registered
keeper, probably the hire firm or possibly a lease firm. So if
you want to go on with this you need to find out what they do
with PCNs.

Well, after receiving the letter saying saying "it is the
responsibility of the motorist to ensure a valid pay and display
is displayed.....and I must pay"
I received an email saying the PCN has been cancelled...
I suppose this is the end of the matter (and hope they don't
send a ntk to the owner of the car, the hire company, as this
would complicate things)

Good Morning,
Thank you for your email. I can confirm that the above PCN has
been cancelled.
Thanks
