Armstrong's

The Record Shak
0.9 miles 69 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9JGSimple, basic and excellent wee record shop with absolutely no attitude, selling a great selection of blues, rock, folk, reggae and jazz, mostly second hand. Will occasionally buy records too.
Hog's Head Music
0.9 miles 62 South Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PSMuso paradise indeed. This grungy second-hand store is full of rare CDs and DVDs, collectable box sets and T-shirts. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the windows are crammed with rarities, and there's a great trade-in policy.
The Frayed Hem
A vintage shop with a well-picked range of clothing, shoes, jewellery and collectables.
Avalanche
Tiny, near-legendary record shop specialising in new and used indie and alternative vinyl and CDs. An essential part of the Edinburgh muso experience, with a great selection of local acts - Postcard Records, in particular, are brilliantly represented.
Vinyl Villains

Rusty Zip
1.1 miles 14 Teviot Place, Edinburgh, EH1 2QZThe littlest vessel in the Armstrong's armada stocks better quality leather coats than its name might suggest. Smoother-than-thou retro pieces mingle with knick-knacks, including wigs, feather boas and novelty scarves. During August, it's handily…
Barnardos Vintage
1.2 miles 116 West Bow, Edinburgh, EH1 2HHTreasure trove charity shop, with the stock hand-picked from Barnardo's general intake by a dedicated team who know the area. It's a skip across the road from Armstrongs, making this area of the Grassmarket something of a vintage bolthole, and although…
Armstrongs

Edinburgh Books
1.5 miles 145–147 West Port, Edinburgh, EH3 9DPBewilderingly labyrinthine selection of antiquarian books over two levels. Formerly West Port Books, and now a leading member of the West Port Books collective, Edinburgh Books' staff have a similarly dry sense of humour to their fellow collective…
Herman Brown
1.5 miles 151 West Port, Edinburgh, EH3 9DPSeriously gorgeous selection of top-end vintage accessories and shoes hang alongside a carefully selected, colour-coded range of 1950s-1980s fashions. The very best place to lay hands on retro sunglasses, diamante hat pins and patent stilettos.
Main Point Books
1.6 miles 77 Bread Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AHSituated between a lap-dancing club and a church, Main Point Books specialise in mind-expanding tracts. Fans of Vonnegut, Brautigan, Dick and Orwell will find plenty of politically-charged sci-fi to keep them happy here, and there's a great section of…
