On arriving to Hilary's house, Eloise and I were relieved to be surrounded by hills and trees after spending a few days in the city centre. Hilary was a brilliant host, who gave us a nice cup of tea when we turned up in the evening and booked us a table at the local pub (the oldest in Scotland!) 'The Sheep's Heid'. She has a lovely and friendly dog called Bramble, who accompanied us when Hilary showed us the walking route to Arthur's Seat (the hill that can be seen in the pictures out of her window). Going for a trek up this hill is definitely recommended as the views of the city and sea are super. All in all, Hilary, her house and her dog are worth visiting and our stay with her was a highlight of our Edinburgh trip.
