The stops in pictures

The Royal Yacht Britannia carried the Royal Family for more than 40 years and is now moored at Leith. Walk through the state apartments, the crew’s quarters and the engine room at your own pace.

Then drive west to South Queensferry, a harbour town beneath the three Forth bridges, including the red Forth Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cross the Queensferry Crossing for the view back, and finish at Blackness Castle, the ship-shaped fortress known as the ship that never sailed. It is a private chauffeur day out, just your group, with no coach and no strangers.
