A visit to this long-established shop tucked away in the heart of the Old Town will involve a battle against temptation, for there are many traditional bagpipe recordings on sale here. Nowadays there are even contemporary musicians using the age-old instrument to critical acclaim in a much less mournful fashion. Choose from the great selection of folk tunes featured here or pick up a magazine to broaden your musical horizons. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Bustling Shopping District |
Princes Street Edinburgh United Kingdom |
Princes Street has its fair share of quality shops, from the elegance of Jenners, the most traditional of department stores (which has big designer names, good quality restaurants and a fantastic food hall) - to the ubiquitous high street names of Boots, Gap, Debenhams and the House of Fraser. Just south of Princes Street are the Princes Street Gardens with Calton Hill to the east and The National Gallery of Scotland and The Royal Scottish Academy to the west. The famed Hogmanay celebrations are centered in Princes Street Gardens and Princes Street itself. Truly a center for shopping and culture, Princes Street is must see. Review © 2007, Wcities |
