| | | I've never even noticed any shops on Cowgate? Shows how drunk I've always been... only bars ever show up on my booze radar.
If you're looking for christmas cards and wrapping paper and that kind of shit, there's a store called Paper Tiger, one on Stafford Street and the other on Lothian Road. They have some cool stuff if you want to keep away from the usual card store chains.

I'd recommend for cards The Fruitmarket Gallery bookshop. They have beautiful and cool ones.

| | | If only!
If I lived in Erinsborough I would spend half my day listening to Harold Bishop's sweet, sweet... tuba(?) music, and half my day making sweet, sweet love to Doctor Kennedy.

Shows how drunk I was in Edinburgh- I was always at the pubs in Cowsgate. |

| | | Victoria Street on the way down from the Royal Mile to the Grassmarket is pretty good for weird places.
If you're willing to travel a wee bit further, try heading up towards Morningside. I used to work in a bike shop up by the Bruntsfield Links, and discovered that Morningside is like a whole wee shopping town in its own right. I couldn't tell you what buses go up there though! |

| | | defintely have a look round harvey nichols, they have loads of amazing make up and beauty brands. victoria street's alright, there's a vintage clothes shop called armstrongs right at the bottom, plus a few gift shops and a clothes shop that sells junk food t shirts. cockburn street's also got one of those junk food t shirt shops and a few gimmacky shops. I don't know, generally I'm a slave to the high street. check out the streets off princes street for shops like cruise, french connection et al. and check out the christmas market on princes street. |

But yeah, you're right about Morningside too - some great charity shops there. I like ye olde trinkets.
Buses - 11, 15, 16, 17, 23
