The main entrance to the house is up three wide stone steps.

There is a ramped side entrance with a gradient of 1:10 (its lower section is 1:12). Please note that we are currently facing issues with the wheelchair ramp, which is primarily impacting electric wheelchair access. If you are a wheelchair user, please contact us in advance to discuss your access requirements: trinityhouse@hes.scot

The ground floor, which includes the Master’s Room, is on the level.

There is an audio-visual presentation in the vaults, reached by 9 stone steps with handrail.
