National Museum Of Flight, North Berwick
This is a small group day tour, picking up from Cruise Ship terminals/tender ports in Queensferry/Newhaven.
We first head along Edinburgh's shore line before joining the A1 to get to the National Museum of Flight based at the old World War 2 airfield at East Fortune, which is around 30 miles east of Edinburgh.
Explore and get your hands on over 30 iconic preserved aircraft including Harriers; Tornados, Jaguars, a World War 2 Spitfire, a Red Arrows Gnat Display Aircraft, and the Stars of the Show: an Avro Vulcan that took part in the 1982 Falklands War bombing of Port Stanley Airport and the iconic Concorde - the World's greatest supersonic passenger aircraft.
We take the 60 minute journey westwards to the town of Bo'ness and the historic preserved railway. We then take a 70 minute return journey along the shore of the Firth of Forth behind a preserved steam locomotive with a short stop at Manuel for photos and watching the train being turned for it's return journey back to Bo'ness. Depending on Cruise Ship timings we would then have up to an hour to explore the Scottish Rail Preservation Museum at Bo'ness or even a stroll around the quaint town.

A visit and photo stop at the iconic Kelpies sculptures adjoining the Firth and Clyde canal where some working canal narrowboats might be available to view.
