Great Castle to Visit!

Published on Mar, 2025

Great castle to visit for all the history. Interesting to walk through. Get the guide book for information about the castle. Good location too - make it a day by adding on the boat ride, brewery tour, and lunch at the Lobster Pot.

Fun boat Ride and great day trip from Edinburgh

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a great day trip- we got to see seals which made the entire thing worth it but also ended up seeing dolphins too. The boat ride was fun and scenic. I would definitely recommend getting the inchcolm island landing pass to spend time exploring the abbey ruins and island- very cool and just a short train ride from Edinburgh.

Enjoy the salty sea air, fun crew and the beautiful Forth river.

This was an off the beaten track experience which we loved. Personable staff provided tons of information about the history of the harbor and it was fun to cruise under the three bridges and then by the castle (which was a key location for any Outlander fans). We got lucky with the weather and after the 90 minute boat trip, enjoyed drinks and food at the nearby Scotts. One caution, don't miss the boat by going to the wrong pier area as this boat leaves from a smaller harbor about five minutes drive from the other bigger boats.

Family catch up.

Very interesting and informative. Crew members were excellent. Also we were very lucky with the weather thankfully.

Interesting & informative cruise

Published on Aug, 2023

We arrived at the car park in plenty of time for our cruise, we went into the office collected our tickets and booked our car in for the free parking. We were given instructions to meet at the pontoon at 11.55. The boat cruise was 90 minutes long, you can walk around and swap between sitting on deck or inside. There was commentary on the area and points of interest. Great views of the bridges and Blackness Castle. We had a lovely cream tea & cup of coffee. Thank you for a wonderful time.
