A properly uninspiring outlet with a wide variety of sports wear and accessories. The problem I…read morehave with stores of this type is that nothing is done particularly well because there's so much emphasis on having everything. I had a look at the cycling and running sections. Ladies' cycling wear was beyond rubbish; half an aisle with poor sizing and about six different items. All pink or variations after the fact. The price of some of the clobber was good, but the cheaper the tag the poorer the gear. Saying that, I did buy a cheap pair of shorts for £9, so will see how they go. Bikes looked poor. You know when you look at a folding bike for £150 that packs up to the size of a small room you're not going to get much for your money. I think the bikes on offer probably fare okay for an occasional ride, but they didn't look great for anyone looking to do regular riding. Running gear fared slightly better with a whole aisle dedicated to shoes and clothing for women. There were more colours and different types of clothing on offer, so not quite as bad as the cycling section. I bagged a pair of running tights for £10. So all in all, some cheap bits and pieces on offer, but they are not quality items and probably won't stand up to much. But hey, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys (or words to that effect!). Customer service typical of a barn of this type; I overheard a staff member say "sorry mate, this is not my department", when someone asked a simple question. Sigh! I really do think that dedicated shops that specialise in one sport or interest are vastly superior to this kind of place; running shops with runners and cycling shops with cyclists and outdoor shops with outdoor lovers provide a much better experience and have a wealth of knowledge in comparison to places like this. I suppose this has its place as the first port of call for someone maybe picking up a sport or outdoor activity for the first time... Or maybe for someone to try and grab a bargain? But I'm not sure I'll be making an effort to go back.

So for as it was near closing time, I still managed to look round their vast, and I mean vast sports and outdoor ranges. That took around 20 mins to briefly sniff out what they had, and judging by what I saw it seems I'm hooked so will defo be back later for supplies. From camping gear to wet suits, footwear to workouts, Don't think I've been in a bigger warehouse that supplies all these items under one roof in Scotland? Great got what I was after, quality sports shoes(5/10), anyhoo means I can now workout at home, or go back to the gym without fear of staff staring and pointing in disbelief at the state of my worn out footwear while muffling laughter...nice one Dec.

Ugly. Is the word that will undoubtedly spring to your mind when you first clap eyes on this…read moremonstrosity of a building. And you'd be right, although you shouldn't let that put you off as it houses some useful high street names. The main reason I come here is to go to Sainsbury's, as it's the biggest supermarket anywhere near to the city centre that you can get to by public transport easily. But aside from that, there's also a handful of banks, travel agents, clothes shops like New Look and Peacocks, as well as random one-off shops like GimmeGizmo and Paperbox. You'll never find anything designer or massively upmarket in here, but it's good for all the day-to-day boring things that nobody likes shopping for but everybody needs. There's also free parking, which is another definite bonus.

It's been about 10 years since anyone's posted anything here, so I thought I'd update anyone…read morereading this. The building's still ugly on the outside, but the actual shopping centre has had a massive overhaul post-2016. A new logo and orange branding works really well I think, and the orange neon strips around the sides of the building add some actual style to it, however it's still a total architectural freak. There's now McDonald's and Costa drive-through locations in the car park, and a huge 24 hour gym upstairs. Sainsbury's is as big and strong as ever, although they've closed the cafe recently, apparently Starbucks or some gourmet burger section coming? Aldi is here, very quickly replacing BHS after they went belly-up, and a Poundland, which I actually rate, especially for soft drinks and batteries. Public transport has improved massively, making it kind of a transport hub for the south of the city, with city centre links pretty much every 2 minutes, and east and westbound services a plenty. Borders links are regular as well. There are a lot more local offerings inside, with an excellent local bike shop, and small stands in the main hall with rotating regularly. It's still not upmarket by any means, but with banks, 3 supermarkets, boots, new look, WHSmith (how are they still going as a company?) waterstones, cex, mcdonalds, costa, greggs, subway, the entertainer toy shop, tresspass, penty of carrier stores and a couple of shoe shops, the variety and actual quality of the stores has gone way up. It's also just super handy as they've added stuff like a water bottle refill station with some of the best water you can get in public (i know it's weird but trust me) and some pretty nice toilets (which are open 24 hours), a passport photo booth, postbox and good bicycle parking, they've seriously cleaned up their act in the last 10 years. Also yeah, the whole thing is open 24 hours a day because of the gym, so you can just wander in at 2am and sit in the tables in the hall and eat a sandwich or something. There's some serious plans to add hotels and a cinema to the site, in addition to potential tram links and better walking/cycling access. The future is looking up for cameron toll, and this review is a really strange contrast to the ones from a few years back. This isn't really something you see with shopping malls, but apparently it's doing really well these days, and definitely worth a visit if you're in the south of Edinburgh. Whether for essentials for the house, grabbing lunch, getting your eyes checked at specsavers, buying a new phone or computer, or just nipping in to go to the toilet and steal the ice-cold water from the dispenser, it's a solid spot and improved by an order of magnitude since the start of the decade.

A world cup shirt will set you back £45 and expect to pay a similar amount for the new kits for the coming season. If you want a specific shirt and are willing to pay the price to get this seasons shirt then this is the place to come. However, if you have a budget to keep to, you might find this place less accomodating. What they do offer over other places in the area is the offer of team kits. 14 outfield shirts plus a goalkeepers kit will set you back upwards from £290 depending on how much you demand of your teams new kit. This isn't too bad a price at just under £20 each should you want your team to take on a more professional look. Numbers will set you back another £35, but what is only £2 extra? This is a great place to get a team kit made up, but for anything else I find it a bit over priced.

Following the comedown of the world cup and with the beginning of the new season beckoning, I didn't see that many foreign strips. What they did have were an extensive range of football colours from across the UK, and some football shoes. They had the classic Adidas Samba that my football playing ex used to salivate over, and considering he got into a few scrapes when he played fives I can testify to the good service these shoes do. And in a shallow way, they do look rather nice. I didn't know that they made football strips up for teams as Robert has outlined. I did notice it was leaning towards more expensive, but sometimes independent places like that have more vairety than the high street or internet shopping. Definitely worth keeping your eyes peeled on this one.

They also sell all you need to set up a decent skateboard, including good bearings and trucks as well as tool kits to make life easier setting them up. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about this sort stuff so if it's your thing then it's the place to come.
