Sign up now! - Absolutely wonderful afternoon. Canon Mark walked us around and through the abbey and thoroughly captured our attention. The abbey is beautiful and amazing and humbling. The views from the island are spectacular, and the boat ride was great. Overall so great. HIGHLY recommend, especially if you enjoy history.

Interesting 90 minutes. Very informative - Loved our 90 minutes tour of the bridges and the history and stories about them. Unfortunately it started pouring rain so we had to come inside, but that said it was enjoyable. Tea/ coffee and drinks available onboard too.

Glad we booked this excursion - Really enjoyed our boat ride. Commentary was very interesting, boat was steady in the water. The bridges are amazing, and we saw lots of gray seals.

Amazing day out! - Absolutely fab, would thoroughly recommend this boat trip and visit to the island. Our weather was foggy but dry and it lifted a little when we were on Inchcolm island 😃. We had an afternoon tea which was spectacular. The sun came out on our way back and it was magical going under the bridges. I would say take sturdy shoes for walking round the island.

Slightly disappointing by the headline of the Recommendation (breathtaking) - It's not breathtaking. If you book this tour, add the visit to the island (extra cost). Because the boat trip itself is not very special, you sail under a few bridges to the island and back. You're too far from the coast and Edinburgh to really see anything. The trip to the island is 45 minutes and back also 45 minutes and that's it. Friendly people, but not really spectacular.
