High 5: Debbie Nash

Debbie Nash, 48, a college lecturer from Linlithgow, lists her five favourite places in Edinburgh

1 The Oxford Bar, Young Street. I've only read a couple of Ian Rankin's Rebus books but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the atmosphere at the Oxford Bar.

2 Cafe Lucano, George IV Bridge. I always pop in here for a coffee if I'm down the road at the library. You can sit at the big windows and just lose yourself watching the people go by.

3 Forbidden Planet, South Bridge. A trip to FP is mandatory for me because my grandson loves all things Doctor Who. The trouble is I never know what to buy because there's so much to choose from.

4 The Botanic Garden, Inverleith. I just love the open space at the Botanics. It's a lovely place to go and unwind at the weekends.

5 Arthur's Seat. When you're up there and you can see the city spread out before you it's simply amazing.
