The Deal
With bridges, blustery islands and all manner of wildlife to gaze on, the valiant Forth Belle will escort guests on a cruise of the iconic Firth of Forth. The 90-minute trip offers views of the 19th-century rail bridge and 20th-century road crossing, as well as the party-built new bridge, flying the flag for the 21st century. Sailors can stand on the outdoor observation decks for a chance to see local wildlife, including seabirds and seals. Alternatively, the heated lounge offers shelter and refreshments. All trips include guided commentary, and those feeling an exploratory urge can hop off for a 90-minute excursion to Inchcolm Island, for a supplement of up to £5.50.
