Overview

Very accessible. While there are some slopes and cobbles which could be an issue for some, there is a mobility vehicle that will take you up from the esplanade to the main viewing area and cafe, which avoids the majority of it. Manual wheelchairs may require some assistance in a few places.

Transport & Parking

You can telephone ahead to get parking at the esplanade (i.e. at the front entrance). This isn't available during the Tattoo or when other events are held over the esplanade. In terms of public transport, Lothian buses run relatively near by but there is relatively steep pavement up to the esplanade. Taxis can take you up to front entrance.

Access

Provision of the mobility vehicle to take mobility impaired visitors from the esplanade to the main viewing area is excellent. Some areas are still a bit challenging but the venue has done a good job to make it as accessible as possible. There is also a lift for those with mobility impaired visitors to see the crown jewels.

Toilets

Toilets near entrance, in the main square and in the cafe. All very clean and spacious.

Staff

Staff have been excellent on several occasions. Assistance offered without having to ask. Also suggest best routes.
