Nice shop. They even had some nice authentic kilts for sale at 60GBP. I didn't get one, as they were not my size, but worth a try.

Absolutely love this shop and definitely my favourite Charity Shop in Edinburgh! Always a great variety of items that seem to change every day (I am in there at least 2 or 3 times a week as I work in the city centre), and great prices with special offers on all the time (10 items of kids clothes for £1 is amazing especially for my messy grandchildren). I have to say though, the best thing about this shop is the people, they are always really busy filling shelves and helping on the till, but nomatter how crazy it is, they are always really upbeat, happy to help and ALWAYS singing and dancing! It is honestly a delight to enter a shop where you feel truly welcome and after having a chat with Margaret today I am also considering volunteering as I would love to be part of such a great team! Well done Salvation Army team at Earl Grey Street, you could definitely teach other charity shops a thing or two

Lots of nice items if you are prepared to spend some time looking. A range of sizes too. Nice section for crafting and sewing items with patterns, needles, etc. Also a little book area devoted to books about Scotland. Staff were lovely -my mum bought a few items.

Lovely well stocked charity shop. Lots of different items from face masks to jewellery or designer handbags. Plenty range of clothes, vintage, sport, evening wear. Staff and volunteers very helpful, grateful and appreciative of kind donations. They always have a themed window. New year, Rabbie Burns 🏴 plenty books, bric a brac, linen, kids toys. Dog friendly within reason. Nice atmosphere while browsing.
