High 5: Jen Hastings

Jen Hastings, 43, a child minder from Greenbank, lists her five favourite places for a summer walk in Edinburgh.

1 Craighouse Campus, Morningside For such a beautiful place it's really little-known with great views.

2 Blackford Hill, Morningside I've never worked out why it only takes 15 minutes to climb to the top. It's not at all arduous.

3 Braid Hills There is a point on the golf course where you can see eight different Scottish regions.

4 Water of Leith, Dean Village You feel you're miles away from the city on the stretch by Dean Village and Stockbridge.

5 Union Canal, Polwarth When the sun's coming down it gives Edinburgh a really vintage feel.
