Wheelchair Accessible Day Out in St Andrew & Anstruther | AD
Welcome back! Join us as we take a wee road trip along the Fife coast for a day of exploring Anstruther and St Andrews. It was a great day out and the first one we've had in such a long as we've been at home caring for our cat Willow who has been recovering from three major surgeries. We were in need of a mental health boost so took ourselves off for a day of visiting museums, a nice lunch in a cafe and generally enjoying the beautiful Scottish scenery in the sunshine. Hope you enjoy!

Our HORROR Travel Stories Almost Getting Killed In LA
❤❤❤❤❤
I just got a mid wheel drive chair (ROVI X3) a week ago. Like you, I've always had rear drive and the turning radius is amazing! My previous chair needed 32 inches to turn, this one needs 20. I work in an office and have to turn a dozen or more times a day to get things off a shelf behind me, and my life is a whole lot easier. Elevating seat means I don't have to call for help when I need something from the top shelf. On my lunch break I can sit outside in the sun and recline with my feet up and relax. I gotta say, you look so much more secure than I do driving the mid wheel drive. It's a learning curve for sure. In winter I go to work when it's still dark and I can't wait to try the headlights in the dark. Yeah, it's a bit harder to get under tables at home but I have sat at the high tables at a local restaurant for the first time last Monday. The outdoor patio only has high tables so it was a first for me and the weather was gorgeous. My ROVI has shorter armrests so the controller (the same one as yours) is way way closer to me. I bet Permobil has shorter armrests available that would put the controller in better reach for you.
Looks so good. My 9 year daughter just got an accessible place next month 🥰🥰 quick question please. Is that your own harness or one that comes with the O2 wheelchair they give. Thanks !!
Have you tried punch needle? Im about to buy some stuff so i can try it out. Been hard finding a new hobby after getting md. Hope i would like punch needleing :)
You should do an update on this on a 9am tram in the middle of Edinburgh. I love the level access, apparently the commuters love to stand in the entrances, heads in their phones, pretending they don't see you.
I’m so happy I’ve found your videos! I’m also a powerchair user and have always been really nervous about travelling so it’s brilliant to see your videos and reviews!
Added to my list of places to stay. Great video 👍
Awesome! Thank you! I'm so glad you liked this. It was a great place to stay :-)
Finally found your youtube! Had no idea you had such an accent, i love it!!
Ah thank you so much Emilia! I'm so glad you found my channel and like my accent! 🙂 I sometimes worry its too strong and difficult to understand.
oh - never been to a tree house
Oh I think you would love it, Clare. It was so lovely and peaceful. I want to stay again.
@@SimplyEmma - I looked - and there is nothing about it being accessible on the website - and the shower seat and toilet grab rails aren't in the bathroom photo - so I wondered if they had changed their minds...
@@SimplyEmma there is another site where they have a clearly listed accessible treehouse -sort of liked the look of the one you stayed in more
@@clarewilliams5907 Hi Clare. I'm not sure if you have seen my blog post about this treehouse? I've popped a link to it in the description. It has more information and photos that might help you see if it would work for you. On the Treehouses website, they only say it's "Step free access- please do contact us to discuss any requirements in relation to this". Their photos don't show the grab rails, shower seat etc but they are there. My photos on my blog show the grab rails and shower seat. Hope it helps 🙂 Let me know if you have any questions.
@@SimplyEmma it's not that I don't have shower seats and a commode anyhow - I can make it work
Love this song! Hope you enjoyed it!
It was a great experience - absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.
Des vacances extraordinaires. 👨🦽👩🦽👨🦼👩🦼👩🦼❤️❤️❤️
Cool I would love to do that❤
I hope you are able to do it sometime soon! It was a great experience.
The M3 is on my shortlist for a power chair
Very good how many cost it and payed the insurance this wheel chair?
I'm so very happy to have come across your channel here (having come across your Twitter through some mutuals) and now subscribing. Planning a trip to Europe soon and I need all the information I can get on wheelchair accessible accommodations. Following you on Twitter too now! Thanks again and keep up the great work :)
Hi Emma,does this chair have a totally flat seat as I can't sit in a chair with a tilting seatdue to spine issues.
A wonderful insight into your travels, the museum has made a fantastic job of being wheelchair accessible for visitors ,love your videos,take care and stay safe 👏🏻❤️
Thank you so much Malcolm. I'm really glad you enjoyed watching this video of our trip to these museums. It was a great wee day out. Thank you for watching - appreciate it. I hope you are well and having a good week so far.
@@SimplyEmma love watching your videos thanks for sharing,all good here and the week is going well,take care and stay safe 👏🏻❤️
👏🏻❤️❤️
Isn't it amazing how greatly they've managed to build / convert those museums to be almost completely wheelchair accessible. I bet the original builders didn't even know what accessible means 😉The same applies, of course, to all other "new" museums as well.
I completely agree with you. It's great to see how accessible they've made this old building. From first glimpse, you'd expect this museum not to be very accessible. Looks can definitely be deceiving 😉 Do you have a favourite museum?
@@SimplyEmma Yes, thankfully accessibility has become kinda huge thing and slowly but surely most of the places should be accessible to all people 😀 I have visited so many different kinda museums in my life, but i like mechanical and electrical things so i'd say those are my favorite kinda museums to visit 👍
Bloody hell, it's huge!
Unfortunately, this place in Callander no longer exists.
Im here ur new subscribers hipe ur doing fine
Thanks for subbing! Really appreciate it! I hope you are well :-)

Hi! May I ask you the brand and model of your motorized wheelchair ?
Hi Lola. This is a Quickie Salsa R. The newer model is the Salsa R2.
WOW, what an absolutely adorable young lady! And the accent makes her even more cute. We Americans are always fascinated by the British, Irish and Scotch folks when we get a chance to meet and visit. I came here looking for reviews on the M300 Permobile. I'm picking mine up tomorrow. The seat that raises is really going to help me at the grocery store. So often, I can't reach items on the upper shelves and I have to wait for a willing fellow shopper to help me out. I'm going to like this chair. I also need to raise my legs because of severe edema. Allan, please give Miss Emma a big hug and tell her it's from the United States.
Thank you for watching my review of the M3. I'm so glad you found it helpful. I hope you are enjoying your new Permobil wheelchair and that it is making a positive difference to your life while out shopping and helping with discomfort in your legs. Take care and enjoy your amazing new chair.
Also your fan from Africa, Kenya 🇰🇪 who is also wheelchair bound. We need more of this vlogs.
Thank you, Michael. We appreciate you watching 🙂
Hi Emma, did you do a video for the one you went to in Callander?. Are these accessible pods all roughly the same price?
Hi Gavin 🙂Unfortunately, I don't have a RUclips video for the one in Callander. However, I do have a Reel on Instagram giving a little tour of the Callander pod. I will try to link to it for you. I may also try and upload it as a shorts on RUclips. This Scarborough pod is a different holiday organisation to the one in Callander (which is a charity). Are you looking to book one of them? instagram.com/reel/CkwA6rKIlXr/
@SimplyEmma Yeah i am, I'm in the Clydebank area and don't want to travel too far really. Just wondered if you did a video as i don't know what there is to do in Callander and don't want to just sit in the pod for 2 or 3 days 😊
@@gav25x No problem at all. There are great things to do in the area 🙂 Just a thought...do you drive?
What a pleasant surprise. I love your videos, they have so good vibe to them!
Thank you very much for watching 🙂
It looks so nice there! I loved the narration and details of all of the things you guys did. Look forward to more videos soon :)
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it 😀We hope to have more videos soon! Thanks again!
That was a great video, it looks a great place to stay for someone in a wheelchair. It's a bit too far from me as I live in the very south of England, I'll have to see if there is one near me. Also just an observation not a criticism, I noticed that the writing on people's t shirts was backwards so it seems like the video is mirrored, if that's deliberate then fair enough, I just thought I'd point it out.
Thank you, Owen. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video 🙂 We had a great time staying in this pod - we are big fans of glamping. There are accessible glamping pods down the south of England - you should totally check it out 🙂 It wasn't deliberate to mirror the video. However, I think it looks mirrored when the camera is turned to 'selfie mode'. I'm not sure if I can change that in future videos. Thanks again for watching!
Nice review!
Thank you so much!
the ceiling hoist in Asia almost can't find
I'm sorry to hear that. That must be very difficult to manage. I hope that changes soon.
Looks great going to try to book one with the kids cheers
Ah amazing! Let me know how you get it. I hope you all enjoy it!
I’m not sure every air travel company offers the same service… I’m glad you had helpful people around
I find myself in the same situation now. I have to move, my landlord of 12 years is selling the property AFTER I've done all the adaptions. New wetroom, level access all around. redid the entire garden with ramps and raised beds... Now he wants to sell. We all know that a 2 bedroom bungalow in the middle of a seaside town is going to skyrocket in price now that its adapted. HE will make 100k profit on the adaptions I'VE done and that whoever buys this bungalow will want to move into it. I'm out on my ear with social housing to look forward to. again we all know how that works.. 1 bedroom box with no ramps / shower / access / garden.. oh and you have to be over 55 to even be considered for a bungalow in most regions. I need to try buy the house I'm in, but with no income aside from my disability and instantly losing any housing benefits i would get, who can afford it... Unless I crowdfund to buy this place. I'm screwed. I dealt with being in a wheelchair. I dealt with the death of my partner of 22 years in the middle of my cancer chemo and covid, again. I dealt with that.. I'm a 'shit happens' kind of person.. THIS HOWEVER has got me beat. I'm cooked, done.. toasted and roasted. Wall has been kicked, although not quite run into yet. All I need is a place to live and a society of builders that gives a damn about those in wheelchairs.. A step to far to ask I guess.
I live only 20 minutes from this hotel but im definitely going to give it a try. Facilities look fantastic, so they should and its about time. Do know of any London hotels with similar hoist?
Hi Wayne. I'm so glad you like the look of this hotel and that you live so close. Have you been able to visit yet? Is it a hotel with a ceiling hoist in London you are looking for?
@@SimplyEmma we're booked in the Manchester brooklyn on the 10th, I'll let you know my feedback and yes i was asking do you know any London hotels with similar adaptions
What cushion is that ?
Its a custom moulded seat cushion that was made to my shape. It isn't made by a specific company. Its NHS wheelchair service.
Con este aparato mi mamá andaría x donde ella quisiera,no tendría miedo x todos lados pasaría,felicidades los discapacitados felices x estos inventos
Try lifting the arms up to fit under tables. The control lifts up as well, of course.
Thank you, Linda. Unfortunately I need to keep the armrests done to lean on/support me.
Thank you for this review, Emma. Did you get this one at the end? My husband has a middle drive and I always drive a rear-drive power wheelchair. The one thing that puts me off to switching to the middle drive is when going through a threshold, or even at the end of the ramp going up on the train, it gives a feeling like throwing you forward, which I find it little bit dangerous with the way I sit on a wheelchair. Do you have a similar experience? Both my husband and I do have that experience but for him is ok because he sits quite back on the wheelchair, leaning on the backrest, and my sitting is quite upright.
hi Jagoda. I didn't get this chair. I was just trialing it. Unfortunately, I didn't try going up a ramp on to a train, but I did drive up the ramp in to my wheelchair accessible van and it felt ok. But I can understand your concern if you aren't sitting back on the backrest. I would definitely recommend getting a demo of a mid-wheel drive chair and seeing how you feel :-)
Another great video, looks an amazing property
Hi! Thanks for the video. I'm getting my M3 in week or two. Someone said that the F3 has better suspension (4 shocks), but i rather chose M3 because its better maneuverability and cornering (or at least i think so).
Hi Syntappi. How are you getting on with your M3? Are you liking it?
@@SimplyEmma Hi! I love it. I haven’t been using it that much (only 17 km:s) since i can still walk at my home a bit. If i need to go to somewhere i’ll usually use it. I don’t have anything to compare it because it is my first power chair, but it feels perfect for me 👌🏻
Merci pour cette vidéo
Got word that my chair was approved:) I will have it in hand at the end of August beginning of September!!! So excited
That's great news. How exciting. Please come back and let me know what you think once it arrives :-)
So you use a regular chair and just put the parts on???? And if so where can you get the parts.
Yeah, its just my regular manual chair and I use the beach conversion kit - I have a link for it in the description :-)
Thanks for sharing this!
My pleasure!
This looks like the newer version of my invacare bora the bora has been a good chair but it is sooooo bumpy by the looks of the videos they seem to of added more/better suspension I would love to try one just see what it’s like compared to my bora
I'll let you know how it is once I get it :-)
I have the full option M3 in red……..love it to go shopping and driving at elevation mode…….reaching out myself for stuff with the tilting in front option……just don’t like the very long metal footrests…….know it also has a remote tv function included :-)….take care

Looks amzing what was your previous chair
I currently have a Quickie Salsa R. I'm hoping to get a new chair soon. Hope you're having a good day.
@@SimplyEmma did you choose this chair in the end ? My current chair is a salsa mini 2
Oh my gosh Emma, this looks SO cool! Thank you for sharing 🙊💜
Aww thank you, Pippa. It was amazing and so cosy. We could happily live there 😊
