The crannog centre ticks a lot of boxes for accessibility but it's not without flaws. The museum displays are not easy to peer into from a wheelchair but are glass cases so can be seen side on however are displayed to be viewed looking down. The ramp exiting the museum is very short and very steep. The outside space is packed hardcore and well trodden earth so I had no issues navigating the chair. There is one paved area for historical accuracy which is difficult for a wheelchair or unsteady walking and aids. The accessible entrance to the cafe is round the building and past the front reception which may be busy at times. It seems an oversight to have two stairs but no ramp for this potion of the building. There is a short walk to a sensory space and the loch edge which is accessed by a wooden walkway, it is suitable for wheelchair access but steep. At the base there is unfinished paths made of hardcore rubble which is impossible to navigate but this seems unfinished. There is two accessible bathrooms and staff were friendly and helpful. In the bathroom was a waste bin which can only be opened with foot pedal. Outside is some EV chargers but screens high for accessible users to read and no dipped kerbs to get onto that portion of path. Disabled parking lacked boxed markings to allow ramps to be laid.
