Armstrong’s
Armstrong’s is an Edinburgh fashion institution (established in 1840, no less), a quality vintage clothes emporium offering everything from elegant 1940s dresses to funky 1970s flares. As well as having retro fashion, it’s a great place to hunt for ‘previously owned’ kilts and Harris tweed, or to seek inspiration for that fancy-dress party.
