Scottish Seabird Centre

We aim to be a welcoming, inclusive, safe and accessible space for everyone - all our visitors, team, volunteers, partners and contractors. If there is anything we can do to support you during your visit, please let us know.

We have worked with AccessAble to make finding out about our facilities easier before you visit. Surveyors from AccessAble visited our Centre in person and have created this detailed AccessAble Guide.

Enabling Accessibility

We recognise the sunflower lanyard scheme - wearing one when you visit will let our team know that you might need some extra assistance or a little more time.
We welcome assistance and guide dogs.
We have a BSL signer in our team, please let us know in advance if you may need support during your visit.
The Centre can be noisy and busy at times, especially during school holidays. If you are concerned about this please contact us and we can advise or organise quieter times.
Hearing loop - we need to replace our system and are working towards this.

Carers

Free admission to the Discovery Experience for carers or dedicated blind / hearing assistant, please bring documentation.
