The first stage of planning adventures from our base at The Rings in Fife was working out the location of the facilities for days out. Each new day and every adventure during our week long holiday meant an opportunity to try out a different Changing Place toilet.


In St Andrews the new Changing Place toilet is right next to the beach and not far from the town centre so it was ideal for a spot of lunch followed by an afternoon on the sand with the help of a beach wheelchair.

It was great to have an opportunity to check out the new Changing Place at The Helix: Home of the Kelpies as it’s so close to home and I know there’s been a big campaign to get it there!

Lochore Meadows Country park is the accessible park of dreams with so much for Quinns to do we didn’t get it all done! The café next to the park and the Changing Place toilet in the nearby outdoor education centre makes it possible to stay all day.


We had a choice of two Changing Places in Dundee City Centre, at the Dundee Science Centre or at the V&A. Since we tried out the one in the V&A a couple of years back we decided to give the one in the Science Centre a go this time.
It’s disappointing that neither the Scottish Deer Centre nor the Falkirk Wheel had Changing Place toilet facilities when both attractions have ample space for them. Luckily the Deer Centre was just a short distance from our holiday accommodation, and we combined our Falkirk Wheel visit with a trip to the Kelpies so it all worked out for us but it could have been a very different story.
