Edinburgh's other very popular historical site is a short bus ride out into the suburbs to arriving at the Britannia, the Royal yacht of Queen Elizabeth.
You are of course welcome to come aboard. You pay your admission fee.
And it's like the queen just stepped out for a moment. The furnishings are just the way she left them. The yacht is now retired, no longer in active duty, but it went around the world many times in the service of the royalty.
It’s docked at a modern shopping mall, so you can browse around, at 13:28 Maybe get a bite, spend some money, stroll through nearby Leith, which is a beautiful waterfront community. at 14:02 You will enjoy harbor reflections and perhaps stop at a local pub, and then get back on the public bus for the fifteen-minute return ride to town.
We have other movies about Edinburgh, covering a three-day visit: day one, Royal Mile and castle, day two, New Town, National Museum of History, and shopping, day three, to the Royal yacht Britannia at waterfront Leith, then the National Gallery of Art and free time.
