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.

Tempting: Cherryfox burlesque treats this Valentine’s Day

February 3, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Cherryfox is an Etsy boutique based in Glasgow that sells pin up inspired and burlesque accessories. Some of the designs featured in the store were composed in Edinburgh. In the run up to Valentine’s Day (not extending any further) there’s a special discount for the store too. Use the code CASANOVA to activate the deal. […]

A 30 second tour of Ocean Terminal

May 5, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Ocean Terminal is a three story shopping centre on the dock end of Leith. It is a collection of retailers with restaurants, a gym and a cinema thrown in for good measure. This isn’t a review of Ocean Terminal. I don’t think it’s possible to review an ecosystem that’s so variable in any meaningful way. […]

Girl’s Night at Games Workshop Edinburgh

November 6, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Here’s a good idea. Games Workshop Edinburgh, on the Royal Mile, are reserving this coming Friday (the 9th) as a girls only night. The goal is to present a slightly different enviorment so more female wargamers or girls considering the hobby feel a little easier about getting involved. It’s been run by Emika who works […]

Pictures from the West End craft fair, 2012

August 15, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[wooslider slider_type=”attachments” limit=”10″] Once again St John’s is playing host to 3D/2D and the West End Fair. There are very many stalls worth checking out but Richard Pell‘s creative metalwork especially caught my eye. Unfortunately, pictures from this year’s craft fair are fewer in number than I would have hoped after one of the stall […]

Review of Real Foods, Broughton Street

February 5, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Real Foods on Broughton Street is a real treasure for any foodie who wants to avoid either chemically enhanced sludge food or supermarkets. This shop sells natural food – by which they mean organic, ethical, fair trade but also a range of special diet foods too. If you’re looking for a cake mix that […]

Review of Stockbridge Market, Stockbridge

February 5, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Tucked away in Jubilee Gardens, between Kerr Street and Saunders Street is the Stockbridge Market. The farmers market is open every Sunday from 10am to 5pm and has a website of its own. It is worth checking out the Stockbridge Market’s website for its list of producers because there are many. Equally, it’s also worth […]
