fcuk, an abbreviation for French Connection UK, clearly subscribes to the philosophy that sex sells. With the saucy "fcuk" advertising campaign you would be forgiven for expecting a boudoir-style store with leather and PVC aplenty. However, French Connection's strengths are, in fact, smart, well-made suits and separates. Amongst the many high street stores, French Connection is one of the more expensive, yet continues to produce quality clothes that have longevity. Although most of the garb is smart but not too conservative, there is room in their catalogue for more innovative, colorful and sparkly tops.

This small outlet deals in a range of new and used ski and snowboard clothing and equipment. It is closed for much of the year and re-opens in mid October - just in time for the new European ski season. Whether you are a first timer or an experienced carver, the staff here will help you find the most suitable kit for the slopes. As well as suits, jackets and salopettes, there is a good range of hardware and accessories available.

Troon


Swoon-worthy clothing
1 York Place
Edinburgh EH1 3EB
United Kingdom
+44 131 557 4045
Set just off St Andrew Square and a few minutes from Princes Street, this is a fantastic little designer corner-shop. It is just the place to select the perfect outfit for a special occasion. The clothes here appeal more to those who don't flash labels but admire quality design. You can choose from offerings by Betty Jackson, Joe Casley-Hayford, Ally Cappellino and Marimekko among others. They also stock wonderful accessories: bags, hats, scarves and shoes.

Uth (Jigsaw Menswear)


Quality fashion in a cool setting
George Street
Edinburgh EH2 2HT
United Kingdom
Uth, pronounced "youth" sells cool, contemporary clothing in a sophisticated and modern shop setting. Wooden flooring, sleek fittings and exhibited art and photography give it the feel of a hip bar - indeed there are plans to introduce DJs and cocktails. There are high-profile labels to try on, like the understated Bailey and the more youthful, urban look of The Edge. Check out the quality cuts, various fabrics and interesting range of colors in this pricey and stylish fashion outlet.

This is Edinburgh's central railway station. Recently refurbished, it now boasts a plethora of coffee/snack bars, a Peckhams delicatessen and a branch of Boots the chemist. Clearly laid out and relatively small, compared to some big city stations, it has handy information areas to help you plan your journey and a wealth of helpful staff. Other facilities include clean spacious toilets, cash points, luggage lockers, a first class lounge and an internal taxi rank. There is also a short stay carpark.

Whistles


Quality high fashion
97 George Street
Edinburgh EH2 3ES
United Kingdom
+44 131 226 4398
You'll find high fashion quirkiness and wearability here from the London-based store. Browse through their own label creations alongside designers such as Ghost, Mr & Mrs MacLeod, Sonia Nuttall and Shirin Guild. The shop is tidily laid out and the clothes are well displayed with matching accessories tempting you at eye-level. If you need to know what the new Sloanes on the Kings Road are wearing, this is probably the place in which to find out.

easyEverything


A 24-hour cyber cafe with a lot of machines
58 Rose Street
Edinburgh EH2 2YQ
United Kingdom
+44 131 220 3580
http://www.easyeverything.com/
Located in Edinburgh's city centre, this cyber cafe has an impressive 470 machines and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's also cheap at £1 per hour and, if there aren't many users around, you may be able to have up to six hours on line for the same price. Be warned - this would only happen in the early hours of the morning. Foodwise, easyEverything offers snacks including sandwiches, cakes and crisps. Sustain your concentration with a trip to the Nescafé bar.
