Here's an obscure one no-one else seems to have mentioned - 'Rebel Records' from the mid-late 80's. Initially just a second hand shop down an alley off Royal exchange square/Queen St, then moved to the very top East side of Renfled St, just round the corner from the Atholl Arms. By then sold new Ind...

Not in the West end (in fact just into the East) but at the start of Duke St is the Ladywell building which I fully recommend for good office space at very reasonable rates. Some photos and background info here: http://www.then-now.co.uk/~then-now.co.uk/public_html/eep/ladywell/

And I don't expect to come on forums like this and be slapped in the face with politics. Red_Kola and I were expressing our views in a joking manner without intending any offence to anyone.

The item on restoration regarding the proposed motorway extension in Edinburgh right through Princes St Gardens and a section of the Royal Mile was fascinating and something I had never heard of before.
