Overview

Seeking refuge from the crowds of the Royal Mile the Amber offers a tranquil and interesting oasis. I ventured down to explore and was pleased to see an accessible loo on the way. The seating and ambience was restful and it's a great spot to grab a coffee or something more substantial.

Transport & Parking

Parking in the area of not great as it is a fairly narrow road up the Castle and the Esplanade. There is a handy accessible parking bay at the top of Johnston Terrace. Or, perhaps, better still you can hop on one of the accessible tour buses - look out for the bright colours - orange, yellow, blue ... The buses are great as they have two super large wheelchair bays on the lower deck. Better still you have a 'telly' screen in front of you linked to a camera on top of the bus for some great views.

Access

Getting in was easy once you knew it was there. Just go in the main Scotch Whisky Experience and the helpful staff will point you in the right direction. You can take the stairs or the lift and go down a floor. Pass through the lobby area an enter the cafe / restaurant ... Lot's of choice of tables with moveable furniture and attentive staff. Staff will serve you at the table and nothing is too much trouble. I throughly enjoyed my time there ...

Toilets

There's a good accessible toilet in the lobby area adjacent to the restaurant.

Staff

The Staff at the Scotch Whisky Experience upstairs and the team in the restaurant were fabulous. It makes such a difference when you are greeted with a warm welcome!
