I'm trying to work out where everyone lives!

  1. Beach - about 70ish miles (maybe 1hr 45min by car)
  2. Airport - 5 miles (15 min drive)
  3. Mountains - depends what you mean by mountains, about 10-20 miles to the edge of some moderately famous very hilly countryside (30 min drive)
  4. Starbucks - less than a quarter of a mile, but I don't go there.
  5. Harvey Nicks - 3 miles (15 min drive), but I don't go there either.

Beach - 20 miles (but only a mile to the sea)
Airport - 50 miles
Mountains - a long long way
Starbucks - 20 miles
Harvey Nicks - assume it's a shop? Assuming a city would have one so about 70 miles away

I'm in Edinburgh. If it wasn't for traffic, all those things would be within about an eight minute drive.

As it is, most are within half an hour on public transport. If Arthur's Seat or Calton Hill count as mountains then it's all within very easy reach! I can see sea, mountains and the airport from my office window, five minutes from Harvey Nicks. Only been in that place a handful of times though.

Morris I am 19 minutes from Princes Street. I live in a big house surrounded by ancient woodland.
My house ( 5 bedroomed) cost me £210K two years ago.

blueskyinmarch · 19/12/2017 08:26

Speakout I am in the Kingdom too but i don't think mountains are 20 minutes away - more like an hour up towards the Cairngorms. I am however a lot further east than i think you are. Which mountains are you referring to?

Beach 5 minutes
Airport 20 minutes
Mountains 2.5 hours
