The shops is fresh and very well organised and everything has great attention to detail. I especially liked the cute as a button ceramic cupcakes beside all the various displays, it added extra colour to the store. I always associate Ortak with the Scottish themed jewellery that it stocks in celtic styles. Of course this branch does stock more traditional pieces but it was refreshing to see more refreshing displays with contemporary designs that makes this shop appeal to a wider audience. They had some really pretty butterfly and loveheart themed jewellery sets and simple pendants too. There was also a cabinet dedicated to little ornaments and nifty martini glasses for gifts. I really liked a little compact mirror on display with a dragonfly on it, it was very unusual and cute too. Overall, a very nice shop with pleasant staff and fantastic attention to detail.

Although I don't remember the names of the 2 women working in the store they were fabulous. They were not pushy about making purchases but they know the inventory well and can speak to the quality and answer questions you have. They were very friendly and even went above and beyond to help me locate a place in Scotland not related to their store at all. Such a great store with unique items of quality, value and various price points so I'm sure a local or visitor to Edinburgh can find something great.

Joolz is a bit of a boho shop. And a bit is a bit of an understatement. But that kinda stuff…read morerocks/floats my boat, so it's fine with me. Again, this is a shop I avoid when my pocket's empty of dough. All their clothing is really colourful and has flowery girly patterns. About a couple of years ago (and yes, I do remember this), I flirted with the idea of buying this skirt for months upon months. But I was poor, so there. A lot of their clothes are made out of materials like hemp (their shirts are really really soft!). They sell bags out of that material too. The prices are actually not too bad, all things considered. I mean, most of their merchandise costs around 20 pounds, or maybe a bit over. Other stuff they sell: pillow cases and scarves, gloves and earrings. Definitely stop by if you're looking to put some more colour into your wardrobe.

I have to admit I'd never heard of this market before today. We stumbled across it quite by chance…read moreone saturday as we were wandering through Morningside looking for somewhere to go for lunch. On the one hand, it's always great to see local retailers and designers being supported locally. And although I'm no art conoisseur there was some gorgeous stuff on display - mainly paintings and sketches of Scottish scenery - and I was surprised at how reasonably-priced some of it was. However, I did get the impression that in the huge big room of stalls and stands there were only about 3 or 4 different categories of things being sold. If you're the kind of person who loves browsing stall after stall of almost identical-looking glass jewellery or silver-plated chokers with semi-precious stones on them then you'll be in heaven here. Otherwise, you probably won't need to spend mor than 15 minutes or so here. That said, if you're in the area on the first saturday of every month then you should pop in for a browse.

I have been to this market about 3 times now and I love the idea of local crafters being able to…read moresell their wares without necessarily having a shop to do so. However, some of the sellers are well established and also sell elsewhere in town. There are some lovely homeware and gift items such as art prints, lots of jewellery, knitted crafts, clever wooden items and ttweed purses, cafetieres etc. This market is not well advertised, as like others, I came across it by chance one day. The hall location is good for all weathers and for picking up Morningside foot traffic when the sign is out. However, the downside is that there are so many good home and giftware shops in the Morningside and Bruntsfield area, that they have a lot of competition.
