I’m sat on Whinny Hill enjoying the solitude, surrounded by sweet smelling gorse flowers, while everyone else flocks to the slightly higher summit of Arthur’s Seat.

I’m reminded of coming up here 5 years ago at the start of lockdown, trying to scramble up to St. Anthony’s Chapel without touching the rocks, as we didn’t know then if the virus was spread by contact. Didn’t have the rumble of traffic or the babble of tourists then.

Don't travel to US if you can avoid it.
