Edinburgh can boast one of the most beautiful shopping streets in the world, in Princes Street, which is lined on one side by Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Castle. However, apart from the renowned and upmarket Jenners department store, the street has been neglected. Its architecture is now a mismatch of the brutal and the sublime, and the quality of its shops tends towards the tawdry end of high-street shopping. Nearby George Street offers much more upmarket fare with the likes of Jigsaw, French Connection and Cruise for the fashion conscious, and the tiny Thistle Street to the north offers more exclusive and bijou shops for the fashion connoisseur. The arrival of Harvey Nichols (30 St Andrew Square) prompted the creation of a new street, Multrees Walk, which is just beginning to attract upmarket shops with the arrival of a branch of delicatessen Valvona and Crolla. Old Town shopping tends either towards the tourist end of the market on the Royal Mile, or the quaint, charming and distinctly trendy in the likes of St Mary Street, Cockburn Street and Victoria Street. The Canon-gate, towards the bottom of the Royal Mile, does have a good selection of antique shops, as does the West Port, to the west end of the Grassmarket, which also has the city’s best secondhand book shops.
