Edinburgh Shops
"When I went through all the messages on the
web site pertaining to the shops in central Edinburgh, it sure brought
back some very dear memories.
I was an apprentice in
PT's
then, following my army service, I was an electrician for all of the House
of Fraser. I really did get around:
- PT's
- J&R Allens
- Binns
- Peter Allens
- Blairs
- Blyths
- Smalls
- and probably a few more
that I can't bring to mind.
We also worked in Glasgow, when they built a
new Arnott Simpsons store."

"Does anyone remember the whole front of PT's
lit up with Christmas lights? We started that job in mid-September
to have it ready.
What about the Grotto in the basement of PT's?
We did all the electrical work but the kudos belonged to the window
dressing dept."
