Fraser McCowan's windy day delights
Fraser McCowan, 42, a pricing analyst from Willowbrae, picks his top five places to visit on a windy day
1 Summit of Arthur's Seat. 100 per cent guaranteed hangover cure. Hang on for dear life and you'll forget everything other than not getting blown off
2 Seafield, between docks and sewage works With an easterly wind and a high tide you will see spectacular waves hitting the sea wall.
3 Waverley Steps Watch your fellow citizens fight to stay upright.
4 Silverknowes Great place to watch windsurfers in action and give thanks you're not in any of the planes on their approach to the airport.
5 Cavalry Park The windiest place I have ever played rugby.
