My prefect weekend: Dr. Ian Connor

Dr Ian Connor is a counselling psychologist and the Edinburgh centre director for First Psychology Scotland, www.edinburghtherapy.co.uk

1 Who would be your ideal weekend companion and why? Someone who is funny and has an interesting view of life – like the brilliant Irish comedian Dara O’Briain.

2 Where would you take them and why? We’d go for a walk to one of the East Lothian beaches, because they’re the perfect getaway close to town.

3 Where would you go for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I would combine breakfast and lunch at Earthy Foods on Ratcliffe Terrace. For dinner we’d head to the Outsider on George IV Bridge – great views of castle, especially at night.

4 What item would you not be without? For a weekend I’m afraid I wouldn’t be too far away from my iPad.

5 How would your perfect weekend finish? With some live music and a drink with my friends at a relaxed venue like the Shore Bar in Leith.
