Edinburgh - Leith Departure

We travelled by train from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh Leith Docks to start the cruise

Edinburgh Trams & Buses

My first extremely brief first sight of Edinburgh trams before getting a taxi to the ship.

Royal Yacht Britannia

Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, also known as the Royal Yacht Britannia, is the former royal yacht of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, in service from 1954 until 1997. She was the 83rd such vessel since King Charles II acceded to the throne in 1660, and is the second royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the racing cutter built for the Prince of Wales in 1893. During her 43-year career, the yacht travelled more than a million nautical miles around the globe. Today, she is an award-winning visitor attraction and evening events venue permanently berthed at Ocean Terminal, Leith, in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is visited by over 300,000 tourists each year.

Britannia at Leith - such a shame this attractive ship is in such a horrible location
