    The envy of the rest

    Now that all of the "tourist shops" have been mentioned, I'd suggest that Stewart Christie Ltd., 63 Queen Street, is, without a doubt, the best Highland tailor in Edinburgh, if not in all of Scotland. No "Jimmy Hats", no fridge magnets, no tourist tat; just superb tailoring.

    You won't be disappointed.

    Thanks again everyone--encouraging to see so many good choices. Ron, don't be too jealous--I'm realizing now how little $$ will be left over by the time we get over there!

    "Tourist Shops" - I think this is a very unfortunate phrase which I am sure was not intended to be rude.

    No, it was not intended to be rude but, unlike many of the shops mentioned, Stewart Christie is well off the "tourist trail". As bespoke tailors (they make the uniforms for the Royal Company of Archers, for example) Stewart Christie's premises are different than those shops that line The Royal Mile as they do not rely on the passing tourist trade-- hence my choice of words.
