(see example) relating to the maps which appear
on pages 69 72 of this guide. The map is helpful
if you dont know where a particular location is in
relation to the area that interests you. The majority
of entries will have a postcode which can be used
to pin point exact location. Where businesses are
listed as being By a town or village it is wise
to check the exact location with the operator

Assistance Dogs
The new Equality Act 2010 protects anybody
who has or has had a disability and people
who experience discrimination because they
are linked or associated with a disabled person.
In respect of assistance dogs the law quite clearly
states that to refuse admission to a registered
assistance dog is now unlawful and constitutes
discrimination under the Equality Act 2012 under
three possible categories: 1: discrimination arising
from a disability; 2: indirect discrimination and
3: disability harassment. VisitScotland is
committed to equality of opportunity and is
working through its Accessible Tourism Project to
educate and inform all our customers about the
requirements under the law. We have encouraged
all our business customers to use the assistance
dog symbol in order to comply with law, or make
it clear in a statement that they welcome all
assistance dogs. It is always advisable to check
with each establishment prior to booking.
v Hearing Loop
Induction loop and infrared systems help people
with hearing loss hear more clearly by reducing
the effect of background noise. When a building
has been fitted with a loop or infrared system, you
will usually find this mentioned in their adverts,
newsletters and at the entrance to the building.
Informative signs and symbols should be displayed
such as the loop sign above, it is always worth
asking if it is not obvious. Please note this icon
is not verified by VisitScotland Quality and
Standards Department.
, Dogs Welcome
Dogs are welcome to this establishment, on the
understanding that they are on their leash and
are kept under control. You may have to check
with each establishment whether there are
restricted areas for your dog. Please note this
icon is not verified by VisitScotland Quality and
Standards Department.
