Love this shop possibly because I adore Strathberry bags so I struggle to keep away. This iconic Scottish brand is of extremely high quality and the choice is fantastic - any colour your heart desires. The service is excellent, the staff can’t do enough for you. If you love handbags and want one that will last a lifetime, pay a visit to Strathberry - you won’t regret it.

Very lovely farmer’s market with tons of organic fruits and vegetables. Good prepared food, too. I went expecting to get something to cook for dinner, but left with delicious berries and my lunch. Plus, it’s got Edinburgh Castle as its backdrop - you can’t lose!
