Community Toilets

Tips and links from SCOTO Network members on the management of community toilets.

Here's a number of links to information which the SCOTO Network have provided on all issues regarding community toilets.

Ask SCOTO if you need specific information or if you have good data to share.

GeoTourist Community Toilet Trail

Government-funded project with Geotourist and University of Dundee Goes Live

 

Over 20 partners across Scotland are part of an innovative project between Geotourist and the University of Dundee. The project seeks to identify and assess Geotourist's unique economic and social benefits to Scottish tourism, and partners will have access to Geotourist's proprietary data dashboard to assess and analyse the results following the busy summer months.

 

As one of the partners, SCOTO has worked with members to create a Community Toilet Trail across Scotland. Geotourist is very supportive of the trail as they fully recognise the importance of toilets as a fundamental part of any visitor experience and are very interested in what is happening in Scotland with more and more communities taking these services on. We hope to raise the profile of community-led tourism for this partnership and we're now ready for new submissions for the trail!  Please email info@scoto.co.uk for more information or complete the SCOTO Loo Trail Form here >

Great idea from Cumbrae who have named their toilets, with names such as Bomb Shelter, Ferry Slip and Croc Rock. https://cumbraecommunitytoilets.org/

 

 

 

Funding For Toilets

Funding that we are aware of for toilets include:
