Former Northern Lighthouse Board ship, Fingal, was commisioned in 1963 and was the last ship to be built by the Blytheswood Shipbuilding Company in Glasgow. For over 36 years, Fingal ferried lighthouse keepers, essential supplies and maintenance staff to the lighthouses throughout the West Coast and north of Scotland.
Following a £5million development by the award-winning team at The Royal Yacht Britannia, Fingal opened in January 2019 as Scotland’s first luxury floating hotel in the historic Port of Leith with 22 stunningly appointed cabins.
From Fingal’s former control centre, the Bridge, which seats up to 12, to our larger versatile Ballroom, nestled in the former crane hold of the ship, Fingal offers inspiring, nautical spaces perfect for small meetings, larger celebrations or intimate weddings.
