Overview

This is a fun shop on the Royal Mile. If you've been to Flying Tiger or Ale-Hop, this store reminds me of them. It is full of random stuff you never knew you wanted!

Transport & Parking

Being on the Royal Mile transport isn't great. It is a steep road. It won't look far from Waverley Station on a map if you go up Jeffery Street, but it is up hill! There are lots of busses that go along North Bridge and South Bridge but it is a busy part of the city and still a bit of a walk away. Parking is not great here, I'm not sure where the nearest option would be.

Access

It lost one star because although the neon pink sheep is cool, it is the main barrier to entry as it was placed right in the doorway when I arrived. The shop does have a lot of stock so there are the issues of navigating around that and it is quite easy to knock stuff over. But I felt it was quite spacious compared to some other gift shops. The shop is a good size and level access throughout.

Toilets

No toilets available here.

Staff

Staff stayed behind the counter when I visited but they were happy to answer questions I had.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

There are markings on the floor to get people to follow a one way route at the moment. There is hand sanitiser at the entrance. There is a sign outside saying that they can only have a maximum of 10 people in the store at one time right now and that people need to keep 2m apart. It also says that face coverings are required in the store, so it is not clear if they recognise that some people are exempt.
