Leith (Edinburgh), Scotland Port Reviews

The Leith port-of-call was canceled and we docked at Rosyth instead, very inconvenient and disappointing

Spent $900.00 for tickets to the Edinburgh Tattoo.. The captain told us around 11AM that he was afraid of the wind and getting through locks so it became a sea day. My $900 down the drain and our most looked forward to event ruined with no compensation.

Toured Edinburgh Castle Iris tour guide best of trip. could have used more time in castle but with the crowds we all understood the timing

Great city, the Castle and Royal mile plus some whisky thrown in…’nuff said.

Arrived late, causing us to have to cancel a long booked independent excursion. Disappointed but things like this happen. Again, extremely crowded because of the Tatoo. Excursion of Edinburg castle was good. Independent excursion of Royal Yacht Brittanica was an enjoyable surprise

See the castle. Not enough time to walk around the town. That was disappointing. We were rushed through the castle.

Docking site is a distance from Edinburgh requiring a shuttle bus. Edinburgh is a fantastic city but due to a late arrival we didn't have enough time there.

Independent visit to Britannia was very nice. Independent visit to Edinburgh Castle interesting. Again, ship was in town overnight, but no ship-to-town transportation was available after 6 pm.
