Leith or Rosyth (for Edinburgh)

The historic and cultural capital of Scotland. A city with more than a thousand years of history has a lot to offer the cruise ship visitor and is a regular call on many itineraries. Built on seven hills the city is dominated by its imposing castle and by Princes Street, one of the most elegant thoroughfares in Europe. Cruise passengers will enjoy our Edinburgh City & Castle tour including a visit to the castle where the Crown Jewels are on display. If you come in August your guests will be able to experience the thrill of the Edinburgh Tattoo at the castle esplanade. (Check with us for actual dates and times of performances)
