In-Depth Information
rooms' (which usually sleep two adults plus one or two children) and you'll get better
value.
In places that are happy to accept children, kids under a certain age can often stay for
free in their parents' room, and child-friendly facilities, including cots, are provided.
Eating Out
Many restaurants (especially the larger ones)
have highchairs and decent children's menus.
However, a lot of more upmarket places can
prove distinctly chilly if you turn up with a
young family.
A lot of pubs are family friendly and some
have great beer gardens where kids can run
around and exhaust themselves while you enjoy
lunch and a quiet pint. However, be aware that
many Scottish pubs, even those that serve bar
meals, are forbidden by law to admit children
under 14; even in family-friendly pubs (ie those
in possession of a Children's Certificate), un-
der-14s are only admitted between 11am and
8pm, and only when accompanied by an adult.

Feeding & Changing
Baby
Breastfeeding in public remains mildly contro-
versial in the UK, but if done discreetly is usu-
ally considered OK. In 2005 the Scottish parlia-
ment passed legislation safeguarding the freedom of women to breastfeed in public, so if
anyone tries to stop you, quote the law at them!
On the sticky topic of dealing with nappies (diapers) while travelling, most big mu-
seums, galleries and visitor centres have baby-changing facilities, though you probably
won't be terribly impressed with the facilities in motorway service stations and city-centre
public toilets.
