A helicopter ride over the city from East Fortune airfield? It's what I'm going to ask Santa for

Fab ideas folks - thanks v. much. Like the Whisky Society one, that would go down a treat. Glad I asked you all. Some chocs or books are always a favourite as well.

One of my colleagues did that for her boss who was retiring - he was absolutely made up - she got everyone from First Minister to Cleaning lady to have their pic taken and make a comment about the great man. It was really pure dead brilliant
