Standard operating procedures at the hotel include recording of traveller’s dietary requirements which will be met, where practical.

The Scottish Government has close working relationships with all services providers, including the hotel teams directly in Scotland. This enables issues to be raised locally, solutions agreed quickly and, where practical, special measures for guests to be put in place at short notice.

The hotel teams in Scotland encourage travellers to get in touch with the Scottish Government where they feel their needs are not being adequately met by the hotel. This can include dietary requirements. We will do all that we can in liaising with the hotel to ensure that the traveller’s needs can be met and that their stay is as comfortable as possible.

Our overall vision is for everyone with rehabilitation needs to be able to access the care and support they need to live well, on their own terms.

One of the headline targets in Scotland's Energy Strategy is for the equivalent of 50% of the energy for Scotland's heat, transport and electricity use to come from renewable sources.
