The Royal Yacht is a great place for most ages -- except perhaps the very young or the very old.\n\nWe visited a few weeks back on a sunny March Saturday as a family.  The audio tour for children is a must if you have any with you younger than 13 or so.  I was concerned that Dad & I would want to tour at a slower pace than our daughters (12 & 6) but for the most part there was plenty to keep them occupied as we examined photos, documents, artifacts, etc.\n\nMy favourite part of the tour is the many photos of the family.  As an American, I don't have strongly held emotional ties for or against the monarchy, but simply enjoyed the mementos of family.\n\n\nThe staff is outstanding -- friendly, knowledgeable without interfering in the enjoyment of the tour.\n\nIf you have time, The Royal Yacht Britannia is a great addition to your Edinburgh itinerary.
