The lost stores on Edinburgh's Princes Street and what's there now

While it's perhaps unfair to suggest that Edinburgh's main shopping thoroughfare has seen better days, there are definitely one or two lost shops we would like to see brought back.

Princes Street was once known for its abundance of department stores, but with the recent closures of capital institutions Jenners, BHS and Frasers, the days of multi-level shopping all under the one roof may be well and truly over.

Since the turn of the century alone, we've bid teary farewells to loads of once-popular retailers that we could barely imagine would ever shut down, but close for good they did.
