Tour Scotland travel video Blog of a Scottish Piper playing bagpipes music on Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia, also known as the Royal Yacht Britannia, on ancestry visit to Ocean Terminal in Leith near Edinburgh, Scotland. This is the former royal yacht of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. She was the 83rd such vessel since King Charles II acceded to the throne in 1660, and is the second royal yacht to bear the name, the first being the racing cutter built for the Prince of Wales in 1893. During her 43 year career, the yacht travelled more than a million nautical miles around the globe. Now retired from royal service, Britannia is permanently berthed at Ocean Terminal, Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a popular visitor attraction with over 300,000 visits each year.
