Keep the heritage marker and the car pin separate
Highland Council’s historic environment record identifies Trumpan Church and Burial Ground as a protected monument. Treat the church reference as context for your enquiry rather than an invitation to drive or work within the monument grounds. The tyre team needs the road-accessible position of the vehicle.
Add registration, colour and a clear pin. Explain whether you are at the visitor parking position or somewhere else on the approach, and include a fixed sign or entrance that helps identify the actual stopping place.
Explain access without treating visitor space as a workshop
Describe the surface, slope and available room around the affected wheel. Tell the team if the car restricts an entrance, turning movement or the route used by other visitors. A quiet-looking location still needs a practical access and working-space assessment.
Follow site instructions and obtain permission from the responsible operator where needed. Do not move into the burial ground or onto other unsuitable ground to create a fitting position. Discuss the actual parked situation before agreeing attendance.
Prepare a short and accurate tyre message
Include the complete sidewall marking, affected wheel and symptoms. Say whether you noticed a warning, a visible flat or damage when returning to the car. A readable photograph can help identify the specification if it is safely accessible.
Locate the locking wheel nut key and report any repair kit or sealant already used. For a hire car, contact the rental provider through the agreement’s assistance process and obtain its instructions before accepting independent tyre work.
Agree the visit before resuming the day out
Keep a named contact with the vehicle keys and tell the team about your next accommodation or travel deadline. Review actual tyre availability and attendance options for the identified parking position. The name of a visitor attraction does not itself establish an arrival time.
Confirm the proposed work and complete total before booking. A confirmed replacement quote includes selected tyre supply and agreed fitting service. If the vehicle position or contact changes, tell the team so the accepted arrangement can be reviewed.
Before you book
- Pin the car rather than the monument.
- Describe the access and parking surface.
- Send full tyre information and locking key status.
- Keep site permission and hire approval clear.

Your questions, answered.
Can the church’s map marker be the booking pin?
Use the marker to identify the visit, then put the appointment pin at the parked vehicle and describe the road access. The monument and car location are separate.
Should I move closer to the church for the fitter?
Describe the actual stopping place and seek appropriate advice before moving. Do not use monument grounds or another unsuitable area as an improvised tyre-fitting space.
