We may have to temporarily close our Edinburgh bureaux during opening hours for operational reasons and to allow our colleagues to have appropriate breaks. When this happens, we'll display a sign in the store telling you when we'll be available again. We're sorry if this causes you any inconvenience and thanks for your patience.
