Remembering the flagship Edinburgh department store that captured the magic of the holiday season

For generations of Edinburgh shoppers, Jenners was more than a department store, it was a landmark on Princes Street that captured the magic of Christmas during the festive period.

The flagship store that was synonymous with class and style saw huge crowds in the run up to the holiday season each year, with the city centre shop boasting one of the most famous Christmas trees in the capital.

But in December 2020, Jenners announced the end to its 183-year residency with the beloved store closing its doors in May 2021. The building is currently under renovation to become a multi-use space including a 90-room boutique hotel across the upper floors, along with a café, bars, restaurant and retail spaces.

Scroll through our picture gallery as we look back at the grand old department store that sat proudly on Princes Street.
