City guide: 48 hours in Oslo

Friday, 8pm Check into the Bristol Hotel (Kristian IV’s Gate 7, www.thonhotels.com, rooms from £160 per night) which is situated in the city centre.

Travel: Enhance Body Boot Camp, Green Craigs, East Lothian.

Many people’s idea of a holiday is a nice relaxing break on a beach, with wonderful company, great food, luxurious accommodation and perhaps some fun activities to pass the time.

City guide: Florence

I love Florence, it’s a fabulous place. Birthplace of the Renaissance and a cultural jewel for centuries, home to many precious art treasures and source of some of Italy’s best-loved culinary delights, it is also very probably the most beautiful city in the world.

Travel: Croftgarrow, Highland Perthshire

DURING my time at The Scotsman, I’ve reported on wildlife-watching trips from the front seat of a Land Rover, the top deck of a sailing boat and even once from the back of a Highland pony.
