Jenners: Shopping on Princes Street

    Jenners is a traditional department store on Princes Street, with a large skylight and an open interior court in the middle.

    They say they have been at this exact location on Princes Street since 1838, and that the current building is over 100 years old. They used to pride themselves on being an independent, family-run organiz(s)ation, but now they seem to have been bought up by a big chain just like everybody else.

    Standing on a corner of Princes Street sits the great department store Jenners of Edinburgh. This shop really is an Edinburgh Institution. It has ornate carved stonework in the elaborate fashion of late Victorian era. The staff are of "The Old School" full of gentle courtesy & service. The tea room which looks out onto Princes Street is a must.

    My friend once remarked about the price tickets missing a decimal point!! So you could say it is rather expensive but worth a visit even if you don't buy anything.

    Any thing your credit card wil allow

    One of the main shopping streets in Edinburgh is Princes street which runs from east to west right through the centre of the city.If you enter Edinburgh from Waverley staiton then this will place you in the heart of the shopping district.

    A Slight touch of Tartan
    by scottishvisitor
    There are lots of little shops in the Royal Mile & I have heard them mentioned on VT as tourist traps. I think they are good fun places to look around & the tourists love them too.

    All sorts of souveniers can be had, lots of kilts & other traditional goods. My favourite thing here is the history books & of course postcards.

    Any amount from £1.00 upwards

    Along the Royal Mile and Princes Street there are lot of souvenir shops (some of them playing bagpipe music). Here you find a variation of things; cups with Scottish motif, textile badges, key-rings, pack of cards, shortbread, Scottish toffee, book, postcards etc. You can also buy tartan cloths like kilts and scarves and cashmere wool jumpers.
    All museums also have their own souvenir shop. I found my souvenir, a pillowcase with a thistle, at Edinburgh Castle.

    Edinburgh may be famous for its deep fried mars bars but none of the city's chippies can come close to the quality of product turned out by this take-away. From creamy peppery chicken and mushroom pies to flakey iced blackcurrant and raspberry - well pies - this establishment has raised the standard of what you can expect to get for your £1.30.
    As well as the huge selection of heated pies - Mexican, beef, vegitarian and non-savoury - there are also sandwiches, hot dogs, sausage rolls, muffins and anything else you might want to fill the gap.

    The raspberry and blackcurrant pie is superb

    Nuts and raisins
    by MalenaN
    In Princes Mall I bumped into a store I liked very much and it seems it can be found in many British cities. It is Julian Graves store, selling snacks, nuts, dried fruits etc.
    I especially like the bar made of almonds and apricots, covered in yoghurt and the package with nuts (cashew nuts, hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts) and raisins and golden raisins.
