There is some on street parking, including an accessible space, approximately 50m from the cathedral entrance on Kirk Street. There is also a public car park, including two accessible spaces, behind the cathedral approximately 100m away.

Approach to site

Visitors reach the entrance along a 50m level tarmac path from the street.

The south door is accessed by a ramp. The door will be kept open to allow maximum ventilation and minimise touch points.

Dogs

Assistance dogs are permitted at all our sites and within roofed areas. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and not left unattended at any time. Owners must pick up after their dogs.

Visitors' dogs are not permitted at the cathedral.

Visiting the site

Visitors will be asked to follow a one-way route through the cathedral. Please follow the signage. Access to some spaces may be limited.

Please use the available hand sanitiser on entering the cathedral. In line with Scottish Government guidance, face coverings should be worn inside the building. Let staff know if you are exempt.

The nave, choir and chapter house are on the level on stone or tile floors.

Many of the pews will be closed off, but areas of seating will be available in pews in the north and south aisles.
