Facilities & access
We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We’d love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what’s good and where we need to do better.
Parking at the entrance to the tower is possible by prior arrangement.
Younger visitors can dress up in costumes from the 16th and 17th century.
Guided tours for groups of up to 50 people can be arranged but must be booked in advance.
Take time to admire the artworks by Raeburn and Van Dyck, along with precious china and silverware – all from the Erskine family’s private collection.
Climb all the way up to the roof, from where the views of central Scotland are spectacular.
During your visit, you’ll hear tales of curses, ghosts, fortunes and titles lost and regained, and the building’s ruin, rescue and restoration.
Large-print interpretation and a film about the tower and slides of the portraits are available on request.
Car parking is available and is free for members.
We have a small shop on the ground floor, selling souvenirs.
- The ground floor is accessible for wheelchairs but there are stairs to the Great Hall on the first floor and a narrow, steep, spiral staircase with a handrail leads to the upper floors and roof-walk.
- The shop, toilet and refreshments area are all accessible.
