    I would really love to climb Arthur’s Seat and get the full view of the city and the coast – and of the Forth Rail Bridge which is my favourite bridge in the world! When I’ve been before I only walked so far up before I chickened out (I thought I was going to slip on the steep bits) so I really want to put my big girl pants on and try again 😉
