atmospheric almost complete ruin - see details of whole trip on my Maid of the Forth review.
Lots of nooks and crannies to exlore but the stairs to the tower are very narrow and steep - if you can make it the views are excellent.

worth a trip on the Maid of the Forth for this alone. Atmospheric island abbey. Can be accessed by boat trip from S Queensferry. On a nice day, a top experience.

Took the Ferry from Hawes Pier at South Queensferry for a wonderful sail out under the Forth Railway Bridge with a running commentary along the Firth of Forth to Historic Scotland's Inchcolm Abbey and Island. Make sure you take the ferry that lets you visit the island for 1 1/2 hours.The island has a pathway letting you see many of the relics of WW 1 & 2 where up to 500 soldiers were posted to guard the seaways. The Abbey / Monastery goes back to the 1100s to the time of St Colm. There is a good visitor centre but unfortunately no place to get food or drinks so bring your own or purchase them on the ferry.

I had wanted to go there for a long, long time. It is certainly well worth a visit. Best to visit on a good day. The boat trip can be quite chilly. Don't be afraid to sit inside. Take photographs of the bridges from top deck then go inside if you are cold.
