    Default Union Castle lines - The Edinburgh Castle

    Hello

    My parents met on board teh Edinburgh Castle in the 1960s while dad was working on board ship.

    They are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year and I am trying to find some memento for them.

    If you have any advice on where to look I would be most grateful.

    Thank you

    Karen

    Would have thought some more info from Damon and his MN history would be best, and would stop all the suspicion on the ship, what about it Damon ?????, kt
