17. Casey's sweet shop
Casey's sweet shop on St Mary's Street survived until the 2000s and was a real blast from the past, offering jars of jars of all the sweets you could possibly imagine from kola kubes and dolly mixtures to bon bons and pear drops. The only Edinburgh folk who don't miss it are dentists. Photo: Neil Hanna
18. Rankins' Flowers and Fruit
Rankins' Flowers and Fruit had a fine reputation for offering the very best service and produce in the city. Ahead of its time, the independent firm was one of the first greengrocers in Edinburgh to sell exotic fruit and vegetables, such as avocados and kiwis. Photo: Unknown
