Skye and Lochalsh Access Panel

The Skye and Lochalsh Access Panel is a Recognised Charity, which is made up of local people who face barriers in daily living. We share our knowledge and experience as an independent advisory group to promote improved access to buildings, the environment, services and information.

We maintain a database of local businesses with accessibility features.  You can search this database on our Local Information page.
