Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM99BB - A straight-on, documentary view of the Flower of Scotland shopfront at 98 Canongate on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, photographed in crisp winter light. The signage across the fascia is clear and readable, with additional wording highlighting Harris Tweed, Cashmere and Scottish Gifts, immediately signalling a tourism-focused retail offer. Large display windows are packed with colourful merchandise, including tartan and knitwear items, racks of souvenirs, and dense point-of-sale displays that create a bright, busy storefront against the darker stonework of the historic Old Town streetscape.
The composition captures the commercial character of the Canongate section of the Royal Mile, where visitors browse for practical cold-weather purchases and Scotland-themed mementos. The pavement and road edge provide a strong horizontal base, while the illuminated interior draws the eye into the shop, suggesting warmth and activity on a cold day. The scene suits editorial uses around Edinburgh tourism, souvenir retail, Royal Mile shopping culture, and the visitor economy, as well as broader themes of heritage streets and modern tourist consumption in historic city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M36969 - Peloton Interactive, Inc. is an American exercise equipment and media company based in New York City. The company's products are stationary bicycles, treadmills, indoor rowers equipped with Internet-connected touch screens that steam live and on-demand fitness classes through a subscription service. The equipment includes built-in sensors that track metrics such power output, providing users with real-time feedback on their performance and leaderboard rankings to compete with other users.
Peloton charges a US$44 monthly membership fee to access classes and additional features on their exercise equipment, or $12.99 for users only accessing the content via app or website
In 2011, John Foley, an executive at Barnes & Noble in New York City, pitched his colleague, Tom Cortese, on the idea that technology could make it possible for people with little time to get the full experience of working out in a high-end studio cycling class in their homes. Peloton Interactive was founded in January 2012
The company raised $400,000 in seed money in February 2012 and another $3.5 million in December 2012. Peloton sold its first bike on Kickstarter in 2013 with an early bird price tag of $1,500. Their first Internet-connected stationary bicycle with a tablet was released in 2014. The company also opened showrooms in shopping centers around the US, for people to test out the machines, and sales quickly soared, behind the entertaining classes and cycling instructors, and the online community of riders
Sales increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic as home gyms became more popular during the COVID-19 lockdowns. However, the rapid increase in demand caused shipping delays, with customers receiving their products months late, leading some to cancel orders

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AERR6D - Ramsdens is a growing, diversified, financial services provider and retailer, operating in the four core business segments of foreign currency exchange, pawnbroking loans, precious metals buying and selling and retailing of second hand and new jewellery. Headquartered in Middlesbrough, and from roots that can be traced back to the 1970s, the Group operates from over 150 stores within the UK (including 4 franchised stores) and has a growing online presence.
Ramsdens grew significantly between 2009 and 2013, investing heavily in the Ramsdens brand, its core service lines and store estate. Following a change in market conditions, including a material fall in the gold price, the management team reacted decisively to focus on cash generation from the existing store estate.
In 2014, a management buyout facilitated an exit of the previous major shareholders of Ramsdens and provided the funding that enabled the Group to repay its existing bank debt and management to update its strategy. Since the MBO, the Group's strategy has focussed on growing profits from the existing store estate through investment in the foreign currency exchange and jewellery retail segments, acquiring pawnbroking loan books and optimising cash generation with the ultimate aim of creating a well balanced, resilient business from which to generate further growth, both organically and by acquisition.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3193566234 - 'Edinburgh has few secrets for me to discover. I have been visiting the place on a regular basis over the past 30+ years. I have kept a beady eye (Manc reference there), on Cressers Brush Shop, over many of those years. Usually from the Bow Bar over the way, I have to say. Maybe it did inspire JK Rowling, to write about magic wizard wands. I cannot surmise on that one. I regret the brush shop is not there today, but wish JKR well, she did good in the face of adversity.
However, Edinburgh does seem to be becoming swamped in Harry Potter Shops. I would be content just with a few more blue plaques instead TBAH.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XNAD - Dalkeith is a town in Midlothian, Scotland, on the River Esk. It was granted a burgh of barony in 1401 and a burgh of regality in 1540. The settlement of Dalkeith grew southwestwards from its 12th-century castle (now Dalkeith Palace). Dalkeith has a population of 12,342 people according to the 2011 census.
The town is divided into four distinct areas: Dalkeith proper with its town centre and historic core
Eskbank (considered to be the well-heeled neighbourhood of Dalkeith with many large Victorian and newer houses) to its west
Woodburn (primarily a working class council estate with pockets of new housing developments) to its east
and Newbattle (a semi-rural village with its abbey) to the south.
Dalkeith is the main administrative centre for Midlothian. It is twinned with Jarnac, France. In 2004, Midlothian Council re-paved Jarnac Court in honour of Dalkeith and Jarnac's long standing link.
On the north-eastern edge of Dalkeith at Woodburn is the Dalkeith Campus (completed 2003) housing both Dalkeith High School and St David's Roman Catholic High School plus community leisure facilities

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXN9 - Jenners Department Store, now known simply as Jenners, is a department store located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was the oldest independent department store in Scotland until its acquisition by House of Fraser in 2005
Jenners has maintained its position on Edinburgh's Princes Street since 1838 when it was founded by Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington and known as Kennington & Jenner. The store was run for many years by the Douglas-Miller family, who were descendants of James Kennedy, who took charge of Jenners in 1881.
The original buildings that formed the department store were destroyed by fire in 1892, and in 1893 the Scottish architect William Hamilton Beattie was appointed to design the new store which subsequently opened in 1895.[2] This new building is designated as a category A listed building,[3] and it is noted by the statutory listing that, at Charles Jenner's insistence, the building's caryatids were intended 'to show symbolically that women are the support of the house'. The new store included many technical innovations such as electric lighting and hydraulic lifts.
Known as the Harrods of the North, it has held a Royal Warrant since 1911, and was visited by Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of its 150th anniversary in 1988.
In 2004 it changed its vision statement from its goal to be the most exciting department store outside of London to Confidently Independent. The store made national news in 2007 when it publicised that it would stop selling pate de foie gras, following a boycott by the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG38W1 - Princes Square is a shopping centre on Buchanan Street in central Glasgow, Scotland. It was developed in 1986 to a design by Edinburgh architects, the Hugh Martin Partnership. The new five-storey, 10,450-square-metre (112,500 sq ft) retail centre occupies a pre-existing cobbled square dating from 1841, which was reconfigured by enclosing the entire space below a new clear glass domed and vaulted roof. An expansion was completed in summer 1999, extending the centre into Springfield Court and providing a further 1,860 square metres (20,000 sq ft) of retail area and a new retail frontage to Queen Street.
The original cellars of the existing buildings were excavated to provide additional space. Inside the square, new galleries and stairs give access to the upper storeys. The original sandstone facades were preserved around the modern interior. The centre is adorned with decorative glass, tiling, lighting, timber and metalwork, designed by artists and craftsmen.
The writer Bill Bryson referred to Princes Square as one of the most intelligent pieces of urban renewal.
The Hugh Martin Partnership earned several design awards for Princes Square, including the RIBA Scottish Regional Award for Architecture (1988), the Edinburgh Architectural Association Centenary Medal (1989), and a Civic Trust Award (1989). The original fabric has been protected as a category B listed building since 1970.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BE34E1 - A pig roast or hog roast is an event or gathering which involves the barbecuing of a whole pig.
Pig roasts, under a variety of names, are a common traditional celebration event in many places including the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Cuba as well as the US state of Hawaii (a luau) and in the Deep South (pig pickin'). A pig roast is a traditional meal in the Balkan states of Serbia and Montenegro, and it can often be found on the menu of traditional taverns and bars: kafana. In Southeast Asia, a pig roast is a staple among the Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian communities, notably among Catholic Filipinos and Hindu Balinese people, or Buddhist Chinese people.
In the UK, the tradition of pig roasting, more commonly known in the UK as a hog roast, is popular on many occasions, particularly parties and celebrations. It is usually an outdoor event, and a staple meal at many show events. The tradition is to roast either on a spit, turning the pig under a flame, or in a large oven in a roasting pan
roasting pigs around 130 lbs (60 kg) in weight are common in the UK. The pig is normally roasted in a gas propane machine. The pig's skin is scored with a sharp blade and covered in water and salt to make the crackling. In ancient times, going all the way back to the Saxons, roasting a wild boar was often the centerpiece of a meal at Yuletide, with Yule being Freya's feast. The head was often the greatest delicacy, as evidenced by the survival of the Boar's Head Carol.
