A welcome to Lauriston Castle on International Day of Persons with Disabilities

We serve a complimentary cup of tea/coffee and a sweet treat. We have created a special tour of the Castle as a digital presentation in our Maids’ Hall to provide step-free access to the Castle. This will offer step-free access to the for those with limited mobility? Some of our costumed performers will serve you some tea and cake and you will be transported back to Edwardian times. You can have an opportunity to try on some hats and other Edwardian style accessories and learn about the life of the downstairs staff. You will also get a chance to see some special seasonal films about the Castle. Please note although the Maids’ Hall is all on one level, we have no accessible toilet in the Castle. There is an accessible toilet in the grounds a short distance from the Castle. Edinburgh Living History are our multi award- winning team, who interpret the history of the castle in a variety of entertaining ways in Edwardian costume - bringing alive the history of the house. Each performance is carefully devised by Edinburgh Living History to be as historically accurate as possible and include a touch of drama and a soupçon of humour. Why not make a day of it at Lauriston and have some lunch at Mimi’s café on site.
