Accessible Parking at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh
There are 4 on-street Blue Badge parking spaces at the National Museum of Scotland (located in Chambers Street). Parking in these bays is free for Blue Badge holders. The accessible parking spaces cannot be booked in advance though, but are allocated on a “first come, first served” basis.
Access - Entrance to the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh
There are two entrances to the National Museum of Scotland (the Main Entrance and the Tower Entrance). Both entrances are wheelchair accessible.
However, the Tower Entrance is a lot quieter – so I would head there. As it is on Level 1, using the Tower Entrance also avoids having to use a lift to access the main gallery.
Quieter and easier? Sounds good to me.

There are wheelchair accessible toilets on every level of the the National Museum of Scotland, and there is a Changing Places toilet in the Entrance Hall by the Main Entrance on Level 0.
