A SIGHTSEEING CRUISE with a difference is being offered along the Firth of Forth.

The cruise offers high teas to its customers, Janet Friend reports.

That can be taken whilst they pass under the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing.

The view of the bridges makes this a river cruise to remember, enhanced by an informative commentary telling of the area's rich history.

Then there is the wildlife to spot, especially as you get closer to Inchcolm Island, with grey seals and seabirds including fulmars, guillemots, razorbills and cormorants. Or if you are lucky, you may catch a glimpse of dolphins, porpoises or even the occasional whale!

Brought to you at the boat

The afternoon tea is with sandwiches, cakes, scones and tea or coffee, being brought to you on the boat at the start of the cruise.

We are told that vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diets can all be catered for and there's the option to add prosecco, so could be the ideal way to celebrate a special occasion.
