Edinburgh Toy Shops

As the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is particularly famous for its castle, the Hogmanay Street Party and the annual Fringe Festival. As well as the city's history and culture however, Edinburgh is a hugely popular shopping destination with a good selection of pram, baby and toy shops.

Edinburgh's cosmopolitan centre is a joy to wander around - and the generous range of independent toy shops mix well with the usual array of major High Street names.  Princes Street and the St James Shopping Centre are the places to find the usual High Street toy shops and designer boutiques, but if you are looking for something a little more unique and quirky, check out Broughton Street, Victoria Street and Causewayside which are home to more trendy shops selling gifts, toys and mementos.

Edinburgh's famous department store, Jenners, is home to a large Hamleys toy shop which occupies the shops basement. The city is also home to the wonderful Museum of Childhood. This free museum is located on the world famous Royal Mile and features five seperate rooms that are stacked full of toys, games and dolls from years gone by.
