National Library of Scotland accessible toilet

Good toilet, although the floor was wet. Hand dryer opposite the sink rather than next to it. Very spacious.

If you have a disability, we recommend that you contact us before your visit. We can then make sure that the material you want is available, and that we have suitable evacuation procedures in place.
