A small Boots store, in a handy location, on North Bridge, just off the Royal Mile, while the store…read moremight not look as good as their St James Quarter location, nor is it as large as the Princes Street location, it isn't a bad store at all. I came in to get some lip balm due to suffering from chapped lips, I was able to find what I was looking for, and the staff seemed friendly with fast service at the checkouts, and help to find the product I was looking for. (Impressive as the checkout area was only small, given the size of the store and the fact there are no self-service checkouts) As a small store, the selection is limited but is decently stocked given their size. Due to the size of the store, the facilities are limited compared to what one would expect from Boots, and offers the bare minimum, while also shutting earlier than other nearby locations, at 6 pm. 3* - OK, good location but much better pharmacies nearby from Boots and rival brands.

Two lovely ladies at the counter were most helpful as I was advised on two meds to alleviate my symptoms. Sudafed & Tyrozets lozenges.

I think it's about time to bump Lloyd's into the four star range…read more.. This little store is now my go-to spot to pick up prescriptions, mainly because they 1. fill the prescription while you wait and 2. always have my medication in stock. Boots down the road isn't a bad option, but they don't tick these two boxes and for someone who is perpetually behind the eight ball, the speed and ease of Lloyds wins out. It also helps that the folks behind the counter are always helpful and friendly. Going to the pharmacy is an errand, not a chore and Lloyds makes that a reality.

This little pharmacy seemed fine enough to me when I stopped by today to pick up a prescription. I…read morelike that it's so handy that they pick up prescriptions right from my doctor so all I have to do is submit the prescription refill request and then show up here a few days later to pick it up. They cover all the basic pharmacy items and, although not overwhelmingly friendly, we're courteous enough. Because of the Royal Mile location and because I would think they are an independent pharmacy, their prices were quite a bit higher than the Boots around the corner. Their package of 16 paracetamol was £0.55 here, whereas Boots' were only £0.16. That said, it is convenient and handy if you need to stop in here, and it didn't seem unsafe at all to me despite what the other reviewer said.

Underneath the typically old fashioned and tourist-friendly exterior, The Royal Mile Pharmacy hides…read morea dark secret. On a recent visit when I nipped in for a pack of chewing gum, the various foul smelling, painfully thin and toothless characters waiting at the counter told me what that dark secret was. Despite the pleasant exterior, the lather large amount of skagheads that visit this pharmacy for their weekly methodone hit makes it a virtual no-go area at certain times of the day. I've worked on The Royal Mile for about six or seven weeks now, and have already seen two rather sizeable, drink and drug fuelled brawls outside. It really is quite astounding that the powers that be send the junkies here, to the city's main tourist thoroughfare, for their pick-me-up. Given that heroin addicts aren't known for their early morning "rise and shine" attitudes, as long as you get here before 1pm you'll be alright, and will find a quite lovely little outlet for all your pharmaceutical needs.

The pharmacy is at the back of the shop with very helpful and pleasant chemists, and the stock is most of what you'd expect from Boots. Cashier staff are friendly and service is quick. The make up selection is more limited and there are no posh brands. You'll also (randomly) find umbrellas, magazines and jewellery in here! What's best about this store is its location. It's right next to all the main bus stops at Shandwick Place, so a quick dive in for toothpaste, sun screen or moisturiser is easy done.
