Our videos are more about the place, how to get around and what to experience than us doing a traditional vlog where we are in front of the camera all the time blocking the views! We hope from our videos you are encouraged to plan and book a trip and get out and see the wonderful world! We also run a website, www.memoryseekers.net, with many informative blogs and guides to support our videos.

Video Description

The Royal Yacht Britannia was the last of the line of Royal ships, the end of an era. HMY Britannia is now permanently docked in the port at Leith, just outside Edinburgh and you can visit the historic vessel and learn about the royal floating palace. The magnificent Royal Yacht Britannia, served as the home away from home for the British Royal Family for over 44 years, travelling over 1.1 million miles on state visits, royal tours, and diplomatic missions. We explore the decks, visit the state apartments and find out what life was like onboard for a yachtsman and the Band of the Royal Marines. Visiting the Royal Yacht Britannia should certainly be on your bucket list when you are next in Edinburgh and we hope this video will explain why.
