After the success of our Hogmanay evening, we are delighted to announce that Iain Hunter will return to perform for us at The Ship for Hogmanay 2012/2013.
Iain’s musical influences include the likes of Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Matt Munro, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Costello, Dean Martin, Neil Diamond, John Martyn, Paul Anka and many others. His career highlight so far has been singing live at the magnificent Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
I have been fortunate enough to have seen many Rat Pack performers over the years – Iain Hunter is the best by far!
Mr, Crawford Rae, Director of Morton Football Club & Buchanan’s Scotland.
Please get in touch if you would like to book your place for our special new year celebrations.
Below is the Fabulous Iain Hunter in action on YouTube.
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been featured in The Guardian’s “10 of the best restaurants in Edinburgh”.
Jonathan Jones flatteringly writes, “Try a bowl of steamed Shetland mussels – they’ll provide you with an enduring memory of this fine City”.

27 - The Ship's Smokehouse Platter
We’re delighted to have our ‘Smokehouse Platter’ included in The Times Magazine article titled “30 Things To Eat Before You Die”.
That’s quite an accolade. Not only that, but The Ship was only one of two selected dishes found at restaurants in Scotland!
“If I’m in Edinburgh, I will usually go down to the waterfront in Leith to visit The Ship on the Shore for one of it’s famous Smokehouse Platters. The dish brings together the finest Scottish seafood; Arbroath smokies, salmon, queen scallops, mackerel, haddock and mussels – one generous portion really is more than enough for two to share. It’s very simple, but utterly delicious – and even better sitting outside by the water with a glass of champagne.”
A big thank you must go to Olga Polizzi who chose our Smokehouse platter to be included in this prestigious list.
Usually known for his humorous football analysis, even managing to get his own show on the telly a while back, Tam Cowan came to The Ship on behalf of the Daily Record.
He had many kind words for our seafood and champagne selection and we’d like to thank him for his kind words of praise.
