Public Toilets, Showers & Laundrette in Kyle of Lochalsh
Important Notice – Toilets: £0.50p. One toilet turnstile card reader working intermittently – cash recommended.
Need change? You can get change next door at the Lochalsh Reuse & Recycle Hub (to the left of the toilets) during their shop opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 9am–4pm. Please note, the shop cannot give cashback, so you’ll need to bring cash.
If you don’t have cash, there’s an ATM nearby: About a 1-minute walk – head to the right of the building, walk past and around the pharmacy, then straight — the ATM is on the right, outside the Post Office/Mace village shop.
Please Bear With Us – We’re Working On It
We’re a small local charity, doing our best to maintain and improve the building with very limited funds. Some parts still need repair, and we’re working through them as time and money allow.
The small fee for toilet entry helps us keep the facilities clean, open, and running for everyone. Your support and patience really do make a difference — thank you.
