I came in for a look round about a week ago and from the outside it looks inviting. Once you head inside it certainly doesn't disappoint as it feels clean, well organised and the staff are friendly, mature and knowledgeable. It is large enough that you can find just about anything if you're in the locality without having to head to one the huge chain chemists. In particular, it has a good range of dermatological products for stretch marks, acne and even skin damage caused by sun exposure.

Marchmont Pharmacy is a convenient 30 seconds from my house. Convenient for various reasons,…read moreincluding the fact that I'm particularly talented at losing my toothbrush and they've got a whole colourful selection of those for me to purchase over and over again (I wouldn't want my colours to overlap, now would I?). The people who work there are the nicest pharmacists I've ever met. Back in my universitary photojournalist days I once had to procure a needle for the purposes of an article of drug use in Edinburgh, and though they couldn't specifically give me what I needed, they both informed me of where the Needle Exchange was and weren't at all perturbed by my request. Which is always quite comforting. Only downside here is that, yes, it is quite expensive. For all the girls out there: 1) don't get yourself into this situation, 2) they now give out free morning after pills if you're registered with a local GP. And that's all, folks.

Whenever mildly ill and in need of some medicine, I generally head here rather than to my nearer…read morepharmacies or a GP for some of the over the counter medicine you can buy from here. The staff here do know what they are talking about and you just need to go in and tell them what the problem is and they will recommend what will help the most. With this they are more often than not spot on and anything they give you seems to do the trick. Any visit here is also relatively inexpensive as they will always let you make the choice between the large brand or unbranded and cheaper medicines explaining the differences and letting you decide what you want to buy. With a pharmacy this good, unless you are seriously ill, you hardly need a GP.

Hurrah! Other than that, it's a tiny little storefront in not the greatest of areas.. but whaddaya gonna do? Not everyone can be in the best of neighborhoods but everyone needs their local shops. This one is pretty good for basic needs, although it's a bit funny how they have to lock down the storefront at night to keep away the meth-heads.

They stock a lovely range of Christmas gifts when the festive season is upon us. The staff are extremely professional and helpful at all times. Ordering something in is made easy and pleasant. They also have a clinic offering such things as reflexology, smoking cessation groups, wellbeing advice, basic testing etc. The only thing I think could be improved is their range of baby-related items. There's money to be made!
