Accessibility Arrangements at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open The Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open is committed to providing a high standard of accessible facilities for all visitors and spectators with a disability. We will have a team of volunteers working from the information centre in the Spectator Village who can help meet individual needs. This document though outlines the key considerations that have been made. Parking Wheelchair users who arrive at the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open will be able to park in Car Park 2. This will be signposted from the A198 and is on the Gullane Junior Golf Course, as per the map below. The route from car park 2 is along the Main Street, across the road and then into the championship through the Main Street Entrance. Once through the entrance the Spectator Village is immediately on the left. Blue badge holders, who are not wheelchair users, please proceed to the public car park where there will be an exclusive parking area at the front. From here a complimentary bus service will take spectators to the public entrance. Some of the buses will have mobility assistance. Mobility Scooters Event Mobility are on site from Thursday 10th July through to Sunday 13th July 2014 and will have mobility scooters available for a hire fee of £25. For advanced bookings, go to www.eventmobility.org.uk or call 01386 725391. Scooters will be available for collection from a tent at the entrance to the Spectator Village. Many of the pathways around the Gullane Championship course are very steep and some are too dangerous to allow safe use of scooters. Access to the course is via a tarmac road up the left hand side of the 1st hole. Holes 4, 5 and 6 are very steep and are not accessible with a scooter. Access to Facilities All tented facilities within the Spectator Village are fitted with ramps for access. Toilet Facilities Disabled toilet facilities are also available within the tented village and on course catering area. Viewing Areas A reserved wheelchair viewing area will be built and reserved overlooking the 18th green. Assistance Dogs Spectators with guide dogs or hearing dogs will be welcome at the Scottish Open. Further Information For further information, please call 0800 023 2557 or [email protected]
