We then travel to the port of Leith to visit The Royal Yacht Britannia. An audio tour leads you through the five decks, giving a fascinating insight into the lives of the Royal Family. In the afternoon we set sail on a Forth Boat cruise*. No visit to Scotland is complete without a tour of this world-famous UNESCO World Heritage site with the iconic Three Bridges and Inchcolm Island. The Forth of Firth is simply overflowing with myths, turbulent history and fascinating marine wildlife, so sit back and enjoy the stunning scenery with an on-board commentary. There is a café-bar serving a selection of hot and cold drinks and light snacks.
