Shopping in Edinburgh doesn't have to break the bank!

If there's one thing Edinburgh certainly is not lacking, it's shops! In the city centre alone, there's all the main locations such as Princes Street, St James Quarter, Waverley Mall, and the Royal Mile.

Scattered between the big-name brands, designers and boutiques, you'll find so many smaller, independent shops and retailers - where there's something to suit just about every budget!

Here at Edinburgh Reviews, sometimes we cover shops that have just recently opened, or have held events - and sometimes you'll discover some amazing local deals.
