Later, we visit The Royal Yacht Britannia, the former royal yacht of Queen Elizabeth II. She is now permanently moored in the historic port of Leith - one of the most famous ships in the world, which for 44 years served the monarchy as their floating home and stunning setting for glittering state visits, official receptions, Royal honeymoons, as well as intimate, relaxing family holidays!
