Scottish Sightseeing for the Disabled.
I am planning to return to Scotland for the first time in many years, to attend a School Reunion, but wish to incorporate a sightseeing tour, firstly heading up the east coast to Aberdeen and across to Inverness. From there across to the west coast, Fort William?, and back down as far as Dumfries. Can anyone please point me in the right direction for suitable places to go (out of town) which have wheelchair access. I am particularily interested in possible countryside walks which may have pathways suitable for wheelchairs. My main aim is to be able to take wildlife and scenic photographs, weather permitting.

Take a look at the following website which offers a range of accessible walks throughout the uk - http://walkswithwheelchairs.com/index.php. You can even add one yourself if you come across a new one. You could also try Euan's guide which is written by disabled people for disabled people. I hope you enjoy your school reunion and that you have a great time in Scotland! Please don't hesitate to use the network of Infomation Centres - iCentres - around the country where staff will be delighted to help and share their local knowledge.
There is also a lovely tea room in the grounds of Threave Gardens with an outdoor seating area which overlooks the gardens, blissful on a sunny day!
