accommodation key (ages 16-17) - as of april 2026:

  • dark blue: no consent forms, private & shared rooms, 16+, only photo id required.
  • light blue: same as dark blue with minor variations.
  • yellow: parental consent, and id required.
  • red: parental consent, id, and a physical copy of parent's id.
  • dark red: private accommodation only, must book in advance, parental consent, and id, as well as physical copy of parent's id.

whilst this map isn't perfect, it does show visually where you could stay as a 16 or 17 year old, in short, if you want to stay in scotland you're set, anywhere else? not so easy.
