The story that they are waiting for an existing rental customer to move out would indicate that the building in question could be the NEXT shop, straight across from Waverley Bridge. They have recently moved out and the windows are covered up. If it is, the outside is virtually an Apple Store already! Lots of glass and new, clean lines. Good location, and handy for the bus and train stations. We'll keep watching! Apple won’t be going into the old Post Office, that’s for sure.

I'd forgotten about that. It's fairly grand, though so far over at the east end of the street that its view to the castle is obscured by the neighbouring hotel at North Bridge. Let's see if I can Google up a photo: http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_my_p_edyr_07/0_my_photos_edyr_08_2002_-_general_post_office_1.htm Here's the street in general (looking away down to the west): http://henniker.org.uk/images/places/local_a/ed-central/_views_/sm-view-west.jpg Loads more: http://henniker.org.uk/html/ed_princes1.htm Ah yes, the old Post Office building.

Is there any ideas of where on Princess street, or/and the current tenant is. I would be glad and happy to help, (I'm in Kirkcaldy, 20-30 drive North) [IFO -- Sources have no idea, but it would generally have to be about a 60-foot wide space, with the ability to either demolish/reconstruct, or renovate the ground-floor and one or two upper floors.] Well at the moment there is a couple of places along Princess Street, including the old Littlewoods/Marks and Spencers store, and one in a new building next to H and M.

Given Princes Street's view – and a suitable rebuild courtesy of Apple – this store should be something special. The street's been an architectural mess for years, but fortunately remains purely one-sided with the south entirely unobscured. The possibilities for are endless. Guess little Scotsys had better prepare for their last store's last year. Hurrah! Given Princes Street’s view – and a suitable rebuild courtesy of Apple – this store should be something special.
