It would appear, then, that Edinburgh CC simply can't be used for FIDE-rated events (even if there are no disabled entrants!) which would be a major blow for Scottish Chess :-s
I think it would be very useful to the debate for some organisers to come to the forum and give their views.

Andy,
I don't think you are right in saying the above, if there are no disabled there is no problem. The onus is on the potential disabled entrant to notify the organisers of a FIDE rated event in advance of his/her requirements, in order to give the organiser the maximum amount of time possible to make arrangements for that player(s) needs. If other countries can do this, why can't Scotland? If there is no disabled entrant there is no problem as far as I can see.
I do agree that organisers views are welcome
