Old Edinburgh Shops From Yesteryear
Recently looked through some pics on one of these Edinburgh Retro or whatever it's called page on Facebook and started thinking about shops that no longer around, not necessarily exclusive to Edinburgh of course. What shops do you remember from being a bairn
Ards the record shop - Bought my first ever single in here and always used to clap Snooker the dog outside
Crawfords - A sit in bakers that had the best chips ever doused in salt and vinegar
Ritz/Blockbuster - They'd charge you 2
Started by some guys from Herriots - one was called Fraser Dall IIRC.
Some cracking memories coming back from these posts.
I give you King Hero - Thistle St. Best burgers in town and sunk without trace when McDs opened. Sad day.
That model shop on Leith Walk , by the (then ?) bridge. Harburn Hobbies ?
Virgin records.
That weird hippy trippy shop on Cockburn St.
The old shops on what is now the St James Centre.
The Milk Bar on St Andrews Sq.
