Stand 4 Socks say they’ve donated more than 150K pairs of socks. That’s great and horrible at the same time. Surely we can do something about the housing crisis.
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.

A 30 second tour of Ocean Terminal
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
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 […]

[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 […]
