Venue Description

Tiree Ranger Service offers the use of two off-road adaptable wheelchairs for our guests free of charge. The Hippocampe is ideal for children and small adults, with low level seating. Option 1 = standard rear wheels for grass Option 2 = balloon tyres for the beach. The Nomad is a light weight beach chair, suitable for children and adults. Seating is similar to a standard wheelchair. Both units are available to book through the Tiree Ranger Service on a first-come-first-served basis. The Ranger office is located in The Island Centre, Crossapol. The units are stored at Tiree Rural Centre, Crossapol. Please note that these chairs are not motorised: Guests will require assistance during their use. Tiree Ranger Service strives to eliminate unfair discrimination and promote equality. In the activities that we undertake and in the delivery of our services, we seek to improve physical access for all to Tiree's natural landscape. Donations help us to provide these chairs free of charge, so please consider supporting us if you enjoy using them.
