SNP government charters cruise ship to house Ukrainian refugees heading to Scotland

Ukrainian refugees coming to Scotland are set to be housed in a huge ship in Edinburgh after new measures were announced by the SNP government.

The MS Victoria I will be docked in Leith and will provide the government with an additional 739 rooms to home people displaced by the war.

Those staying in the cruise ship, which holds 2,000 people, are expected to remain there for six months due to temporary accommodation reaching capacity across the country.
