Holyrood Palace lies in the heart of the city alongside the new Scottish Parliament building and it is the combination of ancient and modern that makes Edinburgh such a vibrant place to visit. This bustling city offers a wide variety of shops, food and drink, as well as some of the best city views in Europe.
Enjoy a sailing on the world's last sea-going paddle steamer - the Waverley!
One of the most iconic and historic ships – Waverley is the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world. Magnificently restored to her former glory with towering funnels, timber decks, gleaming varnish and brass. You can see and hear the mighty steam engines as the Waverley glides through the sea, giving passengers a glimpse of by-gone times.
Cruise Loch Katrine on the Sir Walter Scott steamship!
Soak up the spectacular scenery of Loch Katrine and enjoy a cruise on board the famous Sir Walter Scott steamship. A cruise is the perfect way to enjoy the romantic landscapes and timeless beauty of the Trossachs. The Sir Walter Scott is a historic ship and has been cruising on these waters since 1900.
