ONE of the Royal Navy Fleet's most important 'floating hospital' ships has docked in Scotland's capital, allowing its crew to soak up the festival atmosphere.

Royal Fleet Auxiliary Argus -- fondly nicknamed 'BUPA Baghdad' -- acts as an accident and emergency unit for troops deployed to conflict zones all over the world.

But -- the 28,000 tonne vessel is distinctly different from traditional red and white hospital ships -- it carries arms and deploys troops and aircraft.

The ship sailed into Imperial Docks at Leith, Edinburgh on Monday 16 August, as part of an 11 day stay.
