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.

Please give us a call  on 0131 665 1546 for advice on the best place to park if you have mobility difficulties.

There is a bike rack just beside the main entrance to the garden.

There’s limited free parking on site (100m from the garden gate), which is not suitable for coaches.

There are gravel paths throughout the garden, which is level in the top half but gently sloping in the bottom half, so assistance may be required.
