The cruise port for Edinburg is at South Queensferry. We tender at this port and take a water shuttle to the pier. Those who did not book through the ship have to take the water shuttle to the pier and then pay 10 pounds for a round-trip shuttle bus into the town. It was definitely worth it to book a Princess tour here.
The water shuttle butts up against the side of the ship and passengers fill it to capacity before it sails over to the land. This port has one large tender shuttle, and the cruise ship lets down two of her own lifeboats as tender boats, too. I took this photo from the ship looking down at the shuttle and tender boats:

We arrived at the port of Invergordon around 7:00 AM. As soon as they allowed debarkation, we walked through the port gates and across the road to find our Kilt-clad driver/guide, Gordon. He directed us to where the bus was parked. We walked uphill to the green and purple bus. It was early on a Sunday morning and the shops were not open, but I really liked the looks of this little town and the murals on the walls.
Today would be a day to see the Scottish Highlands – maybe even catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness Monster!
