It's official: Edinburgh's Royal Yacht Britannia rated top tourist attraction in the UK by Which?

Edinburgh's Royal Yacht Britannia has taken the tourism world by storm this year as it is named the UK's best historic attraction.

In a new poll ran by Which?, the consumer company asked their readers to rate their favourite places to visit around the country for and educational and fun day out.

Out of all of the entries the Royal Yacht came out top, scoring 90 per cent overall.

The Queen's former ship was given a five star rating across all areas, from food and drink to information and value for money.

According to Which?, the attraction was given the title for its ability to "bring history to life" as well as "immersive and interactive exhibitions."

Visitors appeared to love being able to "snoop around" the Queen's bedroom, as well as dining like a real royal by having afternoon tea on board.
