On a personal note…
My Favourite Place in Edinburgh: The city centre. I live near Lothian Road and love living in the heart of the city.
Favourite Holiday: Belfast. Had a brilliant weekend away across the water with my better half. Soaked in the sights, soaked in the history and soaked in the craft beer. Would definitely go back!
Favourite Food: A supersize extra-hot steak strips burrito from Bonnie Burrito.
Favourite Film: Edge of Tomorrow. Comedy, romance, war, drama and time-travelling aliens – this movie has it all!
Favourite things to do in my spare time: Practice my guitar, hike to the summits of Munros and play 5-a-side football.
Not only is Luke an avid snowboarder and hiker, he has also traversed the famous Peruvian Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, trekked for three days along a secluded stretch of the Great Wall of China and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charity!
