It is Christmas all year round in Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe on the Royal Mile and you will always receive a hearty welcome. This quirky little shop has been selling traditional Christmas decorations and gifts for over two decades and remains as popular as ever. They have a huge range of beautiful hand painted wooden toys and ornaments, bells and chimes, candles and cards, and some really cute embroidered tartan themed gifts and decorations. The shop does tend towards a rather kitsch shortbread tin depiction of Scottish culture, but it is all in good fun and tourists will find it a wonderful place to browse.
