1 What is your earliest memory of Edinburgh? My earliest memory of Edinburgh must be getting our gold top and silver top bottled milk delivered to our door by Jackie the store horse. Yes, our milk was delivered by horse and cart.
2 What are your memories from school? I went to Craiglockhart Primary School and one of my first memories is that of getting my primary one class photograph taken when I was five years old. Little did I know then, my classmate Paul, wearing the welly boots in the front row of that photograph, would become a Royal Navy Petty Officer and I would marry him 33 years on.
3 Where is your favourite place in Edinburgh and why? It has to be my mum and dad's house in Shandon because that's where I grew up. They've never moved elsewhere and are both still living there after 48 years of marriage.
4 What are the best things about Edinburgh? It's steeped in history and has so many fabulous buildings. It's so spacious too. Everywhere seems so accessible and is within walking distance compared to other cities.
5 What would you change about the city? I'd reintroduce more cobbled streets as they give such character. I feel it's such a shame that many have been tarred over.
6 Describe a perfect Edinburgh day / night out. It would involve lots of retail therapy by day followed by a nice romantic dinner with my husband Paul at night.
7 Which sports interest you? I'm not a huge sports fan although I have enjoyed going to the odd rugby game at Murrayfield. My interests lie more in yoga and dancing, especially tap and line.
8 What was your most embarrassing moment? It was ending up in a national tabloid due to an incident at our wedding reception involving a display of heart-shaped candles catching alight and forcing all our guests to evacuate the building.
9 What is your greatest achievement? It was going travelling to New Zealand on my own for a year. While I was there, I did a bungee jump which I still can't quite believe I did, given my fear of heights.
