Christmas is on its way and – while it’s great tracking down deals – it’s also important to support our local businesses.
After the tough time many have had in the pandemic, we want to encourage people to shop with the variety of wonderful traders in their local community.
So we asked our readers their favourite small businesses in Edinburgh. This is what they said.

13. Molly's Deli
Molly's is a much-loved delicatessen in Lanark Road, Juniper Green. "The choice is magnificent and includes gluten free," wrote one customer, "They are dementia friendly and dog friendly. There is a little shop attached with some lovely local produce." Photo: Google Streetview
