Why everyone loves local Edinburgh businesses

Businesses in Edinburgh are essentially the lifeblood of the city. They keep it running smoothly, bring money and tourism from near and far - and they also support each other when they can. Local markets are always buzzing!

Edinburgh businesses range from where you buy your local coffee, to your optician's, tailor, physio, bakery, pub, hairdresser's... and so much more. Here at Edinburgh Reviews, we do our best to support independent local businesses, too.

If you want the personal touch, the healthcare professional view, and can find time in your schedule for booked appointments, then Health by Science is absolutely one to consider.

A review of MoveStore Removals and Storage, Edinburgh

September 27, 2022 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A fantastic service from the first point of contact to completion of the move. Without question a top choice of removals company in Edinburgh.

A review of Downes Opticians, Opticians in Leith

July 29, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m sorry if Downes’ books are full and you can’t become a customer. This independent optician’s level of care, skill and service is staggeringly impressive.

A review of Clockwork Removals Edinburgh

September 8, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Strong value for money and equally strong helpers. Clockwork didn’t just move my stuff; they helped rebuild my stuff.

A review of Kingdom Removals, Edinburgh

April 4, 2018 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

Moving home is a thing I really hate to do. I mean its all great when you move to a better home but its the getting there that’s a killer. We have done that three times now. My first move my husband and I did ourselves using the 2 cars constantly running back and forth […]

A review of Hive, British Gas

February 18, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

If you say “Hive” to someone in Edinburgh I suppose there are plenty who’ll think about bees and plenty who think about the nightclub. I now firmly associate the word with British Gas’ connected home technology. Hive is a smart thermostat for your home and you don’t need British Gas to be your energy supplier […]

After touring the #CastleOfLight the other day, Girdy and Birdy popped into @august37burgers for tasty burgers, friendly service and warmth! Do you know how the venue got its name?
Snapped this the other night (while it was still warm enough for fingers) and isn't @pierinosleith looking great. Is there an Edinburgh chippy with as many awards?
Girdy popped into @sebsurbanjungle and with the combo of the takeaway deal and in the inside farmer/craft market it was a really good idea!
Fantastic street art on Lorne Square, Edinburgh
Festive fun and foto ops at @iceangels_edin in Canonmills. Prediction: Deliveroo will be dispatched here many times in December to enable ad-hoc office parties. I also think small teams will come here after work.
There's all sorts of characters in Leith.
