EDINBURGH
HOT HOTEL
Two miles from the city centre at the Port of Leith you’ll be welcomed aboard Fingal – a luxury floating hotel with 22 boutique cabins, permanently docked on the waterfront. It’s the place to stay if you’re looking to make memories. Originally commissioned by the Northern Lighthouse Board, each room is named after a lighthouse.
Our spacious cabin had a king-size bed and a bathroom, a surprising amount of storage space and even a private entrance that led out to the ship’s deck. It’s beyond luxe, with every detail thought of – even the taps are in the shape of a ship’s helm. Perfect weekend ahoy!
TASTE SENSATIONS
Nothing says fine dining quite like The Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar aboard Fingal. The 2 AA Rosettes restaurant has a tranquil, luxurious dining space with a rippled ceiling that looks just like the calming waves outside. With plenty of local favourites to choose from, we tried the renowned smoked salmon followed by an incredibly tender beef cheek, and finished with an indulgent cheeseboard that featured Scotland’s finest. Definitely a meal to remember.
TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Worked up a thirst wandering the characterful cobbles of Leith? Visit the nearby home of Lind & Lime Gin, where tours of the distillery are open to the public – book in advance as spaces can fill up fast. Tickets include a double G&T on arrival followed by a fascinating tour, not to mention a final cocktail and a miniature to pop in your bag for later. Hic!
