Scotland is known for its vibrant festival scene and for having one of the world’s best crowds. So whether you’re looking for big-name music festivals, world-renowned cultural gatherings or small local community celebrations, there’s something for everyone. To help you plan your next event, I’ve put together a list of 15 wheelchair accessible events in Scotland with Changing Places toilet to enjoy this year.
The following outdoor events will have either a Pamiloo or a RevoLOO onsite providing fully accessible toileting facilities (mobile Changing Places toilet). I will be adding to this list when more events are announced.

A revoLOO will be available throughout the event.
