13. Mr Boni's
Mr Boni's on Home Street in Tollcross was the number one ice cream shop in Edinburgh before S Luca decided to migrate from Musselburgh. The family-owned institution served all manner of ices and specialised in ice cream cakes for children's birthdays. Photo: Julie Bull
14. 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
15. Bruce's record shop
Edinburgh folk still talk about city record store Bruce's, which was the place to go for the latest tunes. Pictured are Brian Findlay and Bruce Findlay with the distinctive red carrier bag 'I Found It At Bruce's' outside Bruce's record shop in Rose Street in November 1972 Photo: Denis Straughan
16. 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
