About this House
In March 2021, we were delighted to open a 26 bedroom Ronald McDonald House for families of children being treated at the new Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh.
Our ‘home away from home’ accommodation is on the top floor of the new children’s hospital where families can stay free of charge and for as long as they need. The new Ronald McDonald House is expected to look after as many as 500 families each year. It has communal areas such as lounges, kitchens, laundry facilities and a playroom, and every bedroom has a telephone directly linked to the children’s wards.
