Back in the day there were few things better than a weekend trip out to the toy store - especially if the toy store happened to be The Jolly Giant.
The Glasgow-founded toy superstore came to Edinburgh in the early '80s, occupying a huge warehouse at the Peffermill industrial estate.
When it first opened, there really was nothing else like it in the capital. Toy shops in the past had been on a much smaller scale, or situated deep within the basements of city centre department stores.
