MS Gullfoss
Sailing from Copenhagen
"There was a ship, S.S.
Gullfoss,
which travelled between Copenhagen, Leith and Reykjavik during the
greater part of the 20th century. I travelled between Copenhagen and
Leith on one of its last sailings in September 1973. This journey
took approx. 48 hours."
Arrival in Leith
"When we
arrived at Leith docks our Volvo Amazon was hoisted overboard in
some kind of net. My parents stood on the other side of the wire
fencing watching this manoueuvre. As you can imagine our first stop
was a car wash after those hours on the North Sea.
One of my strongest memories from this
journey was approaching the Forth, sailing up towards Leith and
feeling the profound historical associations of great people and
monarchs of the past making their entry to Scotland."
