There is a Braille Scrabble set at
http://www.braillebookstore.com/Braille-Scrabble.2
While this one has Braille markings on the board as well as the tiles, it’s not
clear either from the picture or the description whether the squares have
raised edges. At fifty-five quid it’s also more expensive than the standard
board game. It’s from the states but they do appear to ship over here.

Exactly, if you can’t read the DL/TL and other Braille markings How can you
read the letters and scores on the tiles?

I don't think that argument stands up at all. If you are playing Braille
Scrabble, it stands to reason you can read Braille.

could not agree more EN but their argument would be I am sure that not
everybody could read Braille. I can live with that but what I find very hard to
live with is that the tiles do not stay in position. I know the person I was
playing with had to give me extra help which really I should not need but that
is all down to such a poorly designed board. I should be able to examine the
board quietly and without anyone having to say a word and instead she was
having to tell me where there were gaps and possible moves which means it was
really partly heard that was playing my turn.

Why didn't they use the Dl, TL, DW and TW markings for the premium squares as
on the original American board? That would have been the obvious solution to
putting tactile markings on the squares.

Subject: [access-uk] description of the scrabble board
The playing board consists of 15 x 15 squares in the playing area. there are
pegs at the corners of each square to help locate the tiles in their proper
position.
on some squares there are labels with tactile dots and bars. these mark the
premium letter squares and premium word squares. to ensure that the board is
correctly orientated, turn it so that the markings on the premium squares run
horizontally at the bottom of the labels, nearest you. The board is then facing
you correctly, and can be rotated as each player takes their turn.
