. Harris and Sons Quality Meats
Evening News reporter Kevin Quinn chose this Longstone butcher's shop as his favourite shop in Edinburgh. He said: "When the shop was threatened with closure due to the retirement of local legend Bob Campbell, I and the local community were devastated. Thankfully local man Mark Nayer took on the shop so I can still pick up all the tasty food he produces and serves, including the shop's famous delicious pies!" Photo: KQ
. Fopp
Evening News reporter Anna Bryan's favourite Edinburgh shop is Fopp, which recently moved from its Rose Street premises (pictured) to a larger store on Shandwick Place.
