In this case the next port was Dover :'):'). However most ships in Edinburgh will dock overnight for the Tattoo

Tartan, our next port of call was to be the day we disembarked in Amsterdam (with a sea day immediately following the Tattoo); hence my sleepless nights. But all worked out well.

Again, thank you for your input!

Regards,

Yes it's an ideal place for you too. We got a taxi back to just outside Rosyth and that's where we met the driver. Try these:

Hello to all on this thread.

A big shout out of thanks to Tartanexile81 for his/her suggestions. I prearranged with EPCH for a cab in front of St. Giles. I admit I had a few sleepless nights before the Tattoo regarding missing the ship, but I told myself to buck up. I called the cab company to confirm numbers early in the afternoon and that night we did exchange phone calls because the Tattoo ran late (there was a medical emergency delaying the start of the Tattoo).

The Tattoo was indeed spectacular - one for the record books - and my worries were needless as my driver and I arrived back at the Prinsendam long before the HAL buses did.

Again, thank you!

I suggested St Giles Street which is opposite St Giles Cathedral. Easy to find, close to the Castle and ready for a getaway to Queensferry

Tartan... I have a question... HAL Prinsendam is to be docked in Rosyth. Do you still recommend St. Giles Street and can you suggest who to contact for transportation back to the pier? I bought a ticket directly from the Royal Tattoo before HAL started offering a tour.

Thanks in advance.

I am working with "tours by locals" for an excursion from Marseille. I have it posted on the Epic Roll Call, but so far no takers. I just posted it the other day. I, too, want to see this. I have heard that it is the Grand Canyon of Europe.
