Our Morningside Road shop is located in one of the most well known suburbs of the city. Morningside is an extensive residential area, with a diverse collection of independent retailers, cafes and restaurants that thrive alongside established High St names like Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Pizza Express. It is also home to our very good friends at Studio One Furniture, who have been in the area for decades.
We are on the doorstep of the Pentland Hills, and surrounded by open spaces like the Astley Ainslie and Braidburn Valley Park. Our neighbours include the famous Dominion Cinema, Maisie The Cat, and Miss Jean Brodie. We even have cowboys round the back of our shop. The history of the neighbourhood spans centuries: we are just down the road from the 200 year old schoolhouse. Just up the hill, the Bore Stone supposedly commemorates the Battle Of Flodden. The Proclaimers found love in Morningside in 1988.

HISTORY
Our Paper Tiger store at this location opened in May 2023. Paper Tiger has traded in Edinburgh since 1981, and was originally part of the Studio One group of companies. Studio One began trading in Edinburgh in 1966 - but if you read this far and know Morningside, you will be very familiar with our old friends further along the Road!
