Gentleman I am visiting Edinburgh this Wednesday and was surprised how poorly I failed in Google Searching to find anything cool in the miniature gaming world to put on my must see list:( Is there a great store I don't want to miss visiting or a Manufacture or really anything you guys might suggest while I am spending the day in town Thank you in advance for any suggestions and your help!

Hi,
There aren't any wargames manufacturers in Edinburgh, the nearest is Warbases which is in Cairnyhill, near Dunfermline. You can reach it in about an hour and a half by public transport from Edinburgh city centre.
There aren't any decent games shops in the city centre apart from the Games Workshop but Wonderland Models on Lothian Road is a very good model shop with a good range of plastic kits and figures including some Bolt Action and Perry Plastics.
Further out near Fountainbridge there's a games shop called 6s to Hit, which is OK but nothing amazing (at least in my opinion). |

I find it impossible to visit Wonderland and leave without purchasing a pile of things. It is very much an old style hobby shop – the sort that doesn't exist in many places anymore. |

Your timing will negate you from visiting the local club SESWC who meet on Thursdays. |

I had half an hour to kill and went in Wonderland models,- they had a super sale on Conflict prepainted terrain and that's why I boarded a train heading south with three huge plastic bags full of terrain 😁 |

Wasn't there a Place called Mac Models on the royal mile down from the castle? Yes, there was, a decade or three ago. Bill MacDonald was the owner but I think the business model wasn't viable in the current environment. |
