2024 Port Of Leith Shore Excursions

Experienced Tours frequently organise private day trips from the Port of Leith Cruise terminal. Our bespoke shore excursions from the Port of Leith are tailored to your interests and typically cover more attractions and distance than larger pre-orgnaised group tours.

The Port Of Leith is situated in the docklands area of Edinburgh and is the most convenient port for Edinburgh. Cruise ships dock alongside the Royal Yacht Britannia which is moored in the harbour. Typically a day tour from Leith starts at 9am and finishes at 5pm, however that is influenced by the arrival and departure time of your ship.

From Leith it is easily possible to explore Edinburgh, East Lothian, The Kingdom of Fife or Stirling and Loch Lomond. Each shore tour is unique so please let us know your dates and what you would like to see on your visit to Scotland.
