Born from Love and Labour...

Known locally as ‘The Shed’, the building we’ve moved in to has a hundred year history.

Built for use in the paper industry, this industrial unit has recently been used for furniture sales and storage. When we first saw it, it took real vision to see the potential. Wall to wall boxes, furniture and home accessories, it was a car booters’ paradise.

The transformation has been a real project. Our other stores had all been stores before, so basic retail infrastructure was already in place. Edinburgh on the other hand was a blank slate.

Being an old industrial unit, there were no home comforts like insulation. So we got to work on fixing that.

The result is a warm, inviting Alpkit store to be proud of - and we couldn't be happier.
