The Royal Yacht Britannia was built at John Brown & Company in Glasgow, launched on 16 April 1953, and commissioned into royal service in January 1954. Over the next 43 years she carried the Royal Family more than a million nautical miles to over 600 ports in 135 countries before being decommissioned on 11 December 1997 — one of the longest serving royal yachts in British history. She's now permanently moored at Ocean Terminal in Leith, open as a museum ship with her original state rooms, crew quarters, and even the Royal Family's cars preserved largely as they were.
Grassmarket, down in the Old Town, has a far grimmer real history: it served as Edinburgh's official public execution site from 1660 to 1784, with a permanent gallows standing at its eastern end. During a period Scots history remembers as "the Killing Time," roughly 1661 to 1688, more than a hundred Covenanters were hanged here for refusing to accept the king's authority over the Church of Scotland — a memorial to them was erected in the square in 1937. The square's best-known individual story is Margaret "Maggie" Dickson, hanged here in 1724 for concealing a pregnancy, who was found alive inside her coffin on the way to burial and, under a Scots-law technicality against being tried twice for the same crime, walked free — earning the nickname "Half-Hangit Maggie."
A genuine black cab lets a four-hour private tour cover ground on both ends of that story — a royal ship and a public execution ground — in the same afternoon, with proper door-to-door pickup and drop-off rather than a fixed walking radius.
