Sportswarehouse - Edinburgh

They used to have the store at Coburg St and I see their
website gives the same address so I assume it is still open.
follow the signs for the Britannia at Leith and Coburg St is
straight over the traffic lights at the end of Queensferry
Road ( not too sure if that is the correct street name as I
am having a mental block at the moment.), I am sure somebody
else will confirm. Tiso's main Edinburgh store at Leith is
just round the corner so may be worth a look as well.

Good Luck

Not Queensferry Road - just Ferry Road.

Is that Coburn Street (next to Waverley) you mean? I'm not
that well versed with Edinburgh but I don't recall a
Coburg Street.

It does exist. I purchased a tent from their store.

Cheers, Jiffy

Well, went there, they didn't have the boots in size 13.

the Big Tiso shop only had Hi-tec boots with waterproof
membrane - which I didn't want.

Tramped up Leith Walk into Leith Army stores, they had nice
Highlander "Bergen Walking Boots" but were out of stock of
Size 13 - the shop owner phoned their sister shop Newington
Army Stores who had the boots in stock, so a tramp up The
Bridges resulted in a nice pair of lightweight non
waterproof membrane, boots - £34.99

BOOTS.html

Coudn't find anywhere selling Montane Featherlite Smocks or
Bufallo windshirts - think I'll save money and stick to my
Keela fleece with waterproof lining + a cheap "kag in a bag"
type thing for a windproof layer if needed.

Nearly bought a Mini Trangia, but I didn't think the pan
support / windshield looked too stable.

Main thing is I have nice new Summer walking boots!

:-D

Nope - Coburg Street. Famous for being the "safe zone" for
prostitutes in Leith (ahem - apparently).

If it is a small compact Trangia you are looking for have a
look here, half way down page.

My mate George got one to replace his original and he
says it is the best he has had, and it uses less fuel and
cooks quicker.
