This is another one of Angela B.'s and I's stops when we visit Edinburgh. Angela introduced me to…read morethis wee jem the last time we were venturing in the Burgh. Located in Princes Mall, next to Edinburgh Waverley Train Station, it stocks loads of cool bags. When I came through previously I was carrying my Asda bag for life plastic carrier. I was not looking cool at all and to be honest I hate carrying things in my hands as I'm always worried I will put down somewhere then leave it by accident. Here was like an "Ahhhhhh!" moment for me and they had great wee backpacks. They had ones ideal for what I needed. I was introduced to cool Prosport cartoon bags. I loved them all!!! I picked with one with a pirate lady theme. I loved it! The girl was lovely and helped me picked one where you could see my pirate lady clearly. Now my Asda plastic carrier bag now lives in my awesome sexy pirate lady mini backpack. It's affordable and they have a really good selection. They also stock travel sized bags and cases. In our case (excuse the pun) though we just head straight to our favourite Prosport bags.

Betty Bags is an independant shop in Princes Mall, which stocks...well, you guessed it! Bags…read more As well as bags, none of which are really to my taste to be honest, Betty also sells accessories and wee Japanese figurines. A strange mixture, but interesting to have a browse around, and to be honest, the mall doesn't offer much else to browse. I don't really go in for bright colours, diamanté and big chunky buckle type bags, or anything with cartoon characters on, but if you did, I'm pretty sure you could find something here. They stock quite a lot of Betty Boop (inspiration for the name, perhaps?) and Spongebob Squarepants figurines and memorabilia, which is reasonably priced for that sort of thing.

You might think from looking at this place from the outside that it's pretty much a middle-aged…read moreversion of Jack Wills; the place where rahs go once they get older and take up fishing alongside their shooting. And you wouldn't be entirely wrong. It's true, this shop does stock all outdoor equipment but especially shooting, fishing and walking. But if you're looking for any type of high-end outdoor wear then you should definitely give this place a visit. 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.
