Iceland Cruise - from Rosyth / Edinburgh - 123507

'The harbour of Rosyth is not far from the city of Dunfermline in Fife, surrounded by picturesque fishing villages that hug the coastline. The area is a golfer's paradise and is even considered to be the home of the sport. Thanks to its central location, Fife is the ideal starting point for a tour of discovery around other parts of Scotland. The magical city of Edinburgh is just a stone's throw away, and it's not far to Glasgow either. To the south, across the famous Forth Bridge, the lowlands with their hilly landscapes enchant the visitor, while in the North and North West you will be captivated by the wild romance of the Highlands.

The town at the Cromarty Firth got its name from Sir William Gordon of Embo, who built the harbour in 1828. Invergordon is famous for its many distilleries, where the Scottish national drink, whisky, is produced. Sights include: the Natal Gardens, Inverbreakie Raceway, the Storehouse of Foulis, Tain Through Time Museum, Nigg Old Church, the Glenmorangie Distillery, the Dalmore Distillery, The Official Loch Ness Visitors Centre, the Inverness area and the Landmark Forest Adventure Park.

Reykjavik, the trading and cultural centre of Iceland at the South-West coast of the island was named "smoking bay" after the famous hot springs of Laugardalur. Today it has a population of around 130,000 - approximately 1/3 of the total population. The capital of iceland has plenty of tourist attractions. A stroll through the old town leads to the main shopping street, Laugavegur, and the pedestrian zone, past the historic Höfdi House (where Reagan and Gorbatschow held their summit in 1986) to the modern basalt church 'Hallgrimskirka'. The church tower offers the best view of the city. Tracing the footsteps of Icelandic history, there are many archaeological finds and artefacts from Viking times on display in the National Museum and art lovers will enjoy the Einar Jonsson Museum with its wonderful sculpture garden.
