Thank you so much! Sorry you didn't sleep, but a trip to the Forth Bridge is hugely recommended. ALSO, every September, @barnardos.org.uk run a fundraiser allowing people to go to the top (in a hoist!)
It's a great experience. Look out for 'YourView' on their events page. Thanks for reading my book!
