Thanks Alex. Most of those locations and views are very familiar to me and, since I have not been up to Edinburgh for a couple of years, they brought back happy memories. However, in all the many times I have been to the city I have not visited the Zoo - caged animals do very little for me, I'm afraid - but now I feel I should, for the views from Corstorphine Hill if nothing else! My regular B&B is in Murrayfield, only a short walk along Corstorphine Road from the Zoo.
