The Royal Yacht Britannia, berthed at Ocean Terminal in Leith, is easily reached by Lothian Buses from Edinburgh city centre. With four routes to choose from, read on to discover which bus to take and where to catch it from.

Until further notice, they will be diverted via Lindsay Road and will terminate and start their journeys on Melrose Drive, outside Capital Cruising, just a short walk from the entrance to Ocean Terminal (0.2 miles). Please check the Lothian Buses website for further updates.
