Overall Rating
Good
4 stars... Except for the result! Disabled access at Murrayfield is excellent - with two provisos... Having to be there so far in advance and also the lift can be extremely tight depending on size of wheelchair...
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There are two main disabled seating areas - trackside and on the terrace. Wheelchair sections halfway up the west stand are at 12a and 32a. The Terrace is half way up the West Stand and on 6 Nations days is generally reserved for injured rugby players. This is accessed by the lift in the main reception (which depending on the size of your wheelchair can be pretty tight). If you're sitting Trackside then make sure you bring suitable clothing as you may get wet! It's a great atmosphere but the view is at pitch level.
Parking & Transport
Good
Parking itself is great. Blue badge parking is situated at the back of the West Stand. The only problem is that you have to be there 90 minutes before kick off otherwise you're not guaranteed entry.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
The accessible toilets near the terrace are very accessible. There are four dedicated disabled loos (2 toilets per section) which are good.
Staff
Excellent
Generally helpful.
Additional Information
This review is for the Calcutta Cup which is probably the busiest day of the year at Murrayfield! It can be easier to park when it's an Edinburgh rather than a Scotland match. In addition, the catering staff normally will order and bring food to your seat at Edinburgh games.
