Where to shop for music in Edinburgh

[MDBoy]

I'm headed back from the colonies to Scotland for a few weeks next month. Will be spending a few days in Edinburgh, I know there is a Sony Style store there and I plan to check that out. What I'm looking for is recommendations on good music shops in Edinburgh. New/Used/Rare/Vinyl/MD etc. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,

MDBoy

I don't know about vinyl and pre-recorded MDs are pretty rare but there are a few good music shops around. Check out Avalanche and Fopp, both on Cockburn street. There's another, larger Fopp at the east end of Rose st and another Avalanche somewhere in newington but I can't remember the name. In fact, there are various music shops (used mostly) around the Newington area so worth having a wander.

Thanks! I found a recommendation to check out Avalanche in a guide book. We will be staying for a few days just a few blocks north of Waverly Station. I'll make sure to check out a Fopp or two. Where is the Newington area?

Cheers,

Go to the east end of Princes street and go across the North bridge (to the south). Keep going along that road for about a kilometre and that's Newington. Most of the music shops (including the Avalanche) are on side streets so you'll have to hunt around. It's a student area.
