Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

In the Royal Palace downstairs is fully accessible and a lift is provided to take you up to the Stirling Heads Gallery (you just have to ask a guide to unlock it). Both the Chapel Royal and the Great Hall are easily accessible. There is a ramp to the Unicorn Cafe.

Parking & Transport

Excellent

The car park is right near the Castle, parking is free for Blue Badge holders. If you mention the wheelchair when you get tickets, a wheelchair accessible vehicle can be provided to take you to the top of the castle. You can then make your way down and around, although it is cobble stones!

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Accessible toilet in the Great Hall, well signposted. Clean with plenty of space for carer

Staff

Excellent

All so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. They made the building come to life without being too over the top

Additional Information

Considering that parts of the Castle are over 500 years old, it is surprisingly disability friendly. I would come back again.
