Then I said was it Sports Conscious and she thinks it was. I'm sure they also had a shop opposite the Botanics. Thanks again, Stuart. We are heading over to that side of town early next week so will have a wee look-see. 3 hours ago, Stuart Lyon said: This is the shop I mentioned.

I knew the actor that played the guy coming back to Edinburgh in them. Who, ironically, was called Seamus and was Irish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Striker Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Anyone remember the Army & Navy shop in Leith Walk ? It seemed to sell more stuff that was nothing to do with the Army or Navy - more like a Milletts really. According to Wiki, it got swallowed up by House of Fraser leading eventually to the closure of all their standalone stores. I've got vague memories as a laddie going into sweetie shops and asking to see the "penny tray" .... or if you were loaded, the "threepenny tray". (For younger viewers, that's pre-decimalisation money. a "threepenny bit" was roughly 1 "new penny") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
