Well, I do need to get some new footwear, and a bag! so does anyone have a faintest idea where in Edinburgh is good for that?

And of course, if I finish in time, I'll have a wander around Edinburgh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Might be good to try one of the many shops they have there!

Head up the ramp out of the station, rather than the various flights of stairs, and turn right. Princes Street will be before you, and on the corner of the road you now find yourself on, on your right, is A Mall Thing, Waverley Market. If that's no good, explore Princes Street itself. Beware - it is a mile to the other end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Edinburgh medics ask patients how far they can walk along Princes Street to assess fitness - and if they can do the whole thing, they can do a mile. Hangover, er Hanover Street to Frederick Street only, and there's a problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Thank you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) at least SOMEONE was helpful.

whoops. Not that helpful. It seems they re-named the mall Princes Mall or something - it's been an age since I went in there. I happen to have been down in Princes Street myself for the first time in weeks today. I hope IL is not now wandering round Edinburgh still trying to find Waverley Market.

A bit too late...I was in Preston by the time you posted this!

But I did go there and by eck I felt like I was wasting a fortune standing there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Fab place Edinburgh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Got all my shopping done in the one place, the centre on the right end of Princes Street, thanks anacrusis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
