Throwback footage of Edinburgh's Fort Kinnaird shows all the shops lost to time

Retro footage has emerged of Edinburgh's Fort Kinnaird shopping park that will no doubt bring back some fond memories for shoppers over the years, with various stores present in the video now all but forgotten.

In recent years, the Fort at Newcraighall has undergone somewhat of a modern transformation, with shops we remember from our childhood being replaced by the next big thing, and a row of restaurants being introduced to breathe some life back into, what once was, one of the busiest attractions in and around Edinburgh.

I'm sure many of us will have memories of late night Christmas shopping at the Fort, queuing for McChans Chinese takeaway and taking our birthday money to splash the cash at Toys R Us.
