The Cowdenbeath-based agency, a MSTP member of Barrhead Travel’s Brilliant Travel division, his kitted out the former RBS vault with sensory toys and lights, bean bags and hearing loops, as well as a projector.

Managing director Scott Paterson said the new space would allow clients to come in and focus on planning their holidays knowing their children are safe and entertained.
