Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Great Coastal Railway Journeys

Leith to Culross

Michael Portillo continues his 500-kilometre Scottish coastal journey along the Firth of Forth at the railway engineering icon for which it is famous throughout the world: the Forth Bridge. A highlight for rail travellers, Michael remembers his delight in the crossing as a child visiting his Scottish grandparents. On the firth's southern bank, Michael stops in the port of Leith to tour the Royal Yacht Britannia. Now decommissioned, she is moored as an attraction.
