Scotland's oldest wine merchant have announced they have opened up a brand new shop in the heart of Edinburgh city centre this week.
Founded in the capital over 200 years ago, Cockburns of Leith have been known to have some very famous customers over the years, with the likes of Sir Walter Scott and even Charles Dickens buying a bottle. Back in 1796, the brand was founded brothers Robert and John Cockburn, who imported wines and spirits from across the world into Leith, before selling them on across the British Empire.
Despite many challenges over the years, and changing hands several times, the company has managed to stay afloat, and are now known to be Scotland's oldest wine merchant.
