Accessible Scotland
To allow everyone to experience the best that Scotland has to offer, VisitScotland is committed to providing information regarding accessible accommodation and attractions across the country.
From 1st October 2004, the third phase of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) becomes law, which means that all service providers will be expected to take reasonable steps to remove, alter or avoid features that make it unreasonably difficult for disabled people to use a service, or where that is impossible, to provide the service by a reasonable alternative method. This will result in an increase in provision throughout the UK for those with all kinds of disability.This is very much welcomed by VisitScotland who, while not in a position to enforce the requirements of the DDA, will strenuously encourage tourism operators to do all they can and to give visitors information on what is available.

The Islands
On Arran you can travel back beyond the mists of time and visit prehistoric standing stones on Machrie Moor, while Brodick Castle, the Isle of Arran Heritage Museum, Balmichael Visitor Centre and Arran Aromatics are well worth a visit. The Isle of Cumbrae boasts great sailing waters, the smallest cathedral in Britain and the opportunity to cycle around the island in a day.

History & Heritage
Culzean Castle and Country Park, situated on a cliff-top near Maybole, is often described as the 'Jewel in the Crown' for the National Trust of Scotland. Designed by Adam in 1777, it offers history, romance and culture in a stunning package. Kelburn, Dean and Brodick are just some of the many other well-preserved castles which are certainly worth a visit.Others which, although now ruins, have their own tales and history to tell - Eglinton, Dundonald, Greenan, Dunure, Portencross, Loch Doon and many more.
