Part of my husband's birthday experience, we went yesterday with two friends. We loved it. We were lucky that the weather was not great, so it was quite quiet. The custodians and the Historic Scotlan… Full review by FayAbroad

Booked the 3 bridges boat tour & they announced if you wanted to visit the island you had to buy a landing pass at £7.50. So I thought we’d give it a go, well I wish I hadn’t bothered, there’s only t… Full review by Philip H

This is not a place where a wheelchair person would be able to take in the site to it's fullest however, someone with limited mobility (cane, walker or, just some difficulty walking) should if they are careful and take their time be able to enjoy most of this site. The upper floors would be difficult to access as they are up stairs only and the stairs are uneven rock. The pathways are gravel and the main floor interiors are all rock floors. There is some unevenness but with care it should not be a problem. The other consideration is how well the person can see. There is a lot of moving from bright light into deep shadows and much of the interior is in shadows so this could pose a problem for someone with limited mobility and limited sight. Hope this is helpful
