The Whitefields and the Irvings are on a break in Edinburgh – overseas is too much of a risk at the moment
The latest, tentative steps towards lifting Scotland’s once onerous Covid restrictions gave Eddie and Paula Whitefield the freedom to do something they had avoided for nearly 18 months. They took a holiday away from home.
The Whitefields, from Dumfries in south-west Scotland, like their holidays. In a normal year, they head abroad on cruises to Spain, Turkey or the US. But not now. Their first holiday away from home since the start of the pandemic is this short break in Edinburgh, sipping ice-cold drinks outside the Contini restaurant on George Street in the city centre.
