Starting at Edinburgh Castle because it is the very essence of Scotland’s identity, this is a complete, 48-hour guide to Edinburgh. Taking in the Royal Mile, Leith, the Royal Yacht Britannia and famous Italian deli Valvona & Crolla. Duration: 34m 48s [...]
Shopping in Edinburgh is a delight. Princes Street may have a great view of the Castle but is a bit old hat when it comes to retail therapy - the grand dame that has been Jenners Department Store for nearly 200 years is a little tired compared to the new upstart Harvey Nicks just around the corner - but a wander through smaller streets is more rewarding. In the Old Town once you’ve exhausted the possibilities on the Royal Mile, find Grassmarket, Cowgate and Victoria Street, where bookshops like Analogue, fashion stores such as Armstrong Vintage and just plain oddball spaces like Demijohn will cure your affliction.
