The great thing about the items from here is that they never let you down. Go elsewhere and you can buy waterproof matches that will work just so long as they don't get too wet whereas here you get a lighting stick - these never go wrong. What you are buying is reliable items that don't let you down, but because they are also simple in design they're unlikely to be that expensive either. Great for all campers if only so they can light a fire on wet days.

They have a reasonable range of hiking gear and camping equipment as well as many complicated pocket knives and other boyish toys. Staff are helpful, and everything I bought here seemed to be good and durable quality. It's a decent alternative to all the chain outdoor shops in town such as Millets and Blacks, as it stocks a slightly different range of brands, and the prices are comparable for most things. I think they do also have slightly more specialist and heavy duty gear. All in all, if you're about to venture into the wilds of Scotland (or beyond), Leith Army Stores is a sensible place to equip yourself before you go.

For example, it's the only place I've seen in the city centre that stocks any decent-sized range of Musto products, which we used a lot for sailing when I was little. The quality of the service is in line with the prices. Staff were polite, friendly and extremely efficient without being intrusive. Which is just as well, as their stock isn't exactly cheap.

Seriously, the quilted pattern has become somewhat of a trademark in George Square, alongside Jack Wills slouch-pants and back-combed, back-sprayed, and dragged-through-the-hedge-backwards hairstyle. And that's just the men. I went in with my mum, hesitantly, as I knew the stigma that came with the seemingly innocent jacket, but I was quite impressed. There is definitely a style - quilt - but there's a lot more to it than that. I ended up buying a wax jacket for a mere £69 and I wear it all the time. Yeah there is a stigma, but not for all the jackets! The staff were really friendly too and ordered in a jacket for my mum, and even though she didn't buy it in the end, they were really lovely. I'm just worried about the condition of my hair now...

I say "pretty reasonable" because at the end of the day, walking trousers are walking trousers, you're never going to look like a fashion guru in them, but you will be comfortable. The clothing is well made and has many more styles than you would expect. I've just looked on the website and they have 19 different types of men's trousers. HOW can there be 19 styles of men's walking trousers! It boggles the mind. I've never purchased anything from here for myself, but The Man is very happy with his recent birthday gift (after using his other Rohan trousers for DIY *sigh*), and equally loves his lightweight, attractive Rohan waterproof jacket. The staff at this location are very helpful, though my only complaint is that when I was in there recently, of the 19 styles of men's trousers, they had only one in my guy's size. It's not like there was a sale on, they just didn't seem terribly well stocked.

I was intrigued as to how the branch in the St. James Centre measured up and so I popped in for a browse. To my delight, they still had the excellent sale on where many items have as much as 70% off! That is my kind of sale! Although much smaller than it's Princes Street counterpart it still has a varied selection of stock and everything is very well organised. It was a bit cramped though, especially as there was a woman in shopping with the biggest pram I've ever seen for the tiniest baby. They had an excellent range of camping stools with polka dots on them and I was very tempted to buy a few as they were the exact match for my picnic set. After realising that I'd have to carry them about Edinburgh all day I decided against it and instead went for a camping torch in the shape of a bumble bee. Excellent. The queue was quite large but instead of getting flustered, the staff were very friendly and I heard them giving pretty much every customer advice on how to get the best out of their purchase and how to keep it in it's optimum condition for longer.
