Two years ago we welcomed Olympic gold medal winner Dame Katherine Grainger and former Scotland rugby captain Rob Wainwright plus a star-studded line up of rowers for the flagship event of Doddie Aid 2023.

Former Scotland internationals Jim Hamilton, Chris Paterson, Scott Hastings and Roger Baird, as well as television stars Louise Minchin, Jennifer Reoch, and Dougie Vipond, plus adventurers Mark Beaumont, and Jasmine Harrison, all of whom backed the cause to raise as much money as possible for MND research in memory of the Scotland rugby legend and MND campaigner Doddie Weir, who died in November 2022 at the age of 52. His three sons also joined the event, making up one of eight teams aiming to row the furthest distance in three hours!

Visit The Royal Yacht Britannia

A unique five-star visitor experience, featured in TripAdvisor’s UK Top 5 and rated Scotland’s Best Visitor Attraction for the last 12 years by national tourism agency, VisitScotland, The Royal Yacht Britannia is an essential visit while in Edinburgh. For over forty years, the Royal Yacht sailed over one million miles on nearly a thousand official visits for the British Royal Family. Now berthed in Edinburgh’s historic port of Leith, Britannia is a fascinating visitor attraction and also one of the UK’s most prestigious event venues.

Step aboard and follow in the footsteps of royalty to see where Prince Charles and Princess Diana honeymooned and Liz Taylor, Frank Sinatra and presidents Reagan, Mandela and Gorbachev were wined and dined.

The captivating handset tour, available in 30 languages, takes visitors round five decks and is a rare glimpse into the public and private lives of the British Royal Family. Highlights of the tour include the State Apartments, the Sun Lounge and the Engine Room. Experience stunning waterfront views and waiter service in the Royal Deck Tea Room, where you can enjoy delicious, freshly prepared, home-made food and a warm welcome.
