Information for individual visitors and visiting bands

Special information on access restrictions in Scottish towers is available to download by clicking on the link below. We would encourage you to use this as a planning tool, so you can minimise your correspondence and angst. All our towers welcome visitors at their practice nights and service ringing (although it is always worthwhile to check in advance).
