Creator's Key Takeaways

South Queens Ferry is a tender Port that requires a 20 to 25 minute ride to the pier because cruise ships can't get past the fourth bridge

Fourth Bridge is a UNESCO world heritage site the second longest can L bridge in the world and Scotland's greatest man-made Wonder

Edinburgh is such a big place it's hard to focus on just a few things with such limited time but that's what we had to do

Creator's Tips & Advice

Organize bus tours, taxis, and ride shares early or pre-book a few days in advance
Take the train from the nearby Del station for the quickest option to Edinburgh
Opt for the x99 bus to the city center, which takes about 30 minutes
Consider a Hop On Hop Off bus tour package to cover more ground
