Oona's on top of the world

Mum’s delight as plucky daughter finally gets to scale Arthur’s Seat

- GEMMA RYDER

A DISABLED schoolgirl has made it to the top of Arthur’s Seat with help from her rugby heroes. 

Little Oona Dooks, 10, had long looked out of her window from her Edinburgh home at climbers and wished that she could scale the hill.

But the wheelchair-bound schoolgirl thought she would never see her dream come true.

Until mum Eleanor put out a request on social media for help.

Rugby clubs Edinburgh Giants and Edinburgh Eagles stepped up. And Paradventures and GM4X All Terrain Wheelchairs Bike & Services provided the equipment for the adventure.

After a year of planning, Oona and the team scaled the peak of Arthur’s Seat last Sunday.
