Supporting Clean Outdoor Facilities, Coast to Coast
When you’re managing outdoor facilities, visitor attractions and community spaces, you’ll know that reliable, well-maintained washrooms are absolutely essential for visitor satisfaction and operational success.
In this update, we’ll highlight how quality washroom services transform visitor experiences, from supporting thousands of visitors along Scotland’s famous coastal trails to ensuring accessibility with the correct facilities in busy tourist destinations.
In June 2025, Edinburgh Council opened a state-of-the-art toilet block at Hawes Pier in South Queensferry, featuring a new Changing Places facility. This highlights the importance of public toilets to communities, especially as the UK has lost 40% of its public toilets over the past 25 years, with the detrimental effects of lost high street revenue and reduced comfort and safety for members of the public. The British Toilet Association is calling for government action to make public toilet provision a legal duty rather than a choice.
This is something we’ll be watching closely, as the improvement of public washrooms and the availability of accessible, well-maintained washrooms is at the heart of what we do for our clients managing public spaces, tourist attractions and community indoor or outdoor facilities.
If you’re managing a tourist attraction and your washroom supplier is letting you down, contact Wilson Washroom Services.
Keeping Fife’s Coastal Treasures Clean
Our Work Along 118 Miles of Beauty
Fife Coastal Trust look after over 70 sites and path networks throughout Fife including the Fife Coastal Path, the Fife Pilgrim Way, the Lomond Hills Regional Park, local nature reserves and other locations which are important for recreation and conservation.
Wilson Washrooms were lucky enough to work over this glorious stretch recently to install essential waste containers in public washrooms.
Wilson Washrooms recently completed installing our men’s health hygiene bins and nappy waste bins across all outdoor toilet facilities predominantly around the stunning Fife Coast but also inland locations such as Craigmead Car Park and picnic area which is known as the gateway to the Lomonds, the two most prominent hills in Fife.
The Famous Fife Coastal Path: 118 Miles of Splendour
Most famous is the Fife Coastal Path which runs from Kincardine to Newburgh, a total of 118 miles passing many iconic landmarks and locations. There are too many locations to mention here but the Fife Coast and Countryside Trust website breaks them down into easy, manageable sections.
My favourite stretch is the section from Buckhaven to Elie. If you time it right, you can complete the famous Elie Chainwalk and see cricket being played on the beach at Elie Harbour. There is also a selection of amazing bars and golf clubs which are just too inviting for you not to stop for a cool drink on a hot day.
From Buccaneers to TV Stars: Fife’s Rich Heritage
There is so much history across the pathway and not just the obvious ones that are associated with golf at St. Andrews and Crail.
Lower Largo heralds the story of Thomas Selkirk, the buccaneer that inspired Defoe’s seafaring hero Robinson Crusoe.
In recent times, the coastal paths and networks include many of the filming locations to the internationally successful television series Outlander, such as Falkland (on the Lomonds) and Dysart Harbour.
Of course, all these places are made great by the well-maintained washrooms along the trails and parks, all serviced by Wilson Washrooms. If you see one of our service teams out and about, why not say ‘hi’ and tag us on social media using #WashroomsDoneWell.
