Hello @paula7665 and welcome to the community.
Not sure if it is any help for you but you can hire a mobility scooter while there: http://www.mobilityequipmenthiredirect.com/mobility-equipment-hire/c1018-mobility-scooter-hire-in-edinburgh-scotland/
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
