Day 2 Royal Yacht Britannia

Today we visit Edinburgh and include entrance into the Royal Yacht Britannia, a ship unlike any other. For over 44 years, the Royal Yacht served the Royal Family, travelling more than a million nautical miles and providing the perfect Royal residence for glittering state visits, official receptions, Royal honeymoons and relaxing family holidays. It is the Best UK Attraction of 2020 as voted by Which? Magazine and welcomes 390,000 visitors each year from all over the world!
Day 3 Free Time Or Jedburgh
Location: Free Time or Jedburgh
Relax in the hotel or explore Melrose at your own pace today. Why not visit the ruined Melrose Abbey or one of the nearby gardens?
Alternatively, you may choose to join our optional excursion to Jedburgh. Mary Queen of Scots stayed here in 1566 at a house which now tells the story of her tragic life.
Enjoy time at leisure to explore, take a riverside walk or browse the shops in the colourful buildings in the Market Place. On the outskirts of town is the Jedburgh Woolen Mill, selling many famous brands and Scottish produce such as knitwear, whisky and traditional food, and stocks over 250 tartans.
