There's a big one every Sunday (10am-2pm) in the basement of the multi-story car park opposite the St James Centre at the top of Leith Walk (I forget what the particular hundred-yard strip of road is called, but it's between the roundabout with London Road and the junction with Princes Street). Highly recommended -- it's huge, and if you poke around for long enough you will find Good Things. (I managed to get a decent budget hi-fi turntable for five quid there a while ago -- a Dual CS505 mk2.) -- "This portends a paradigm shift that acheives strategic alignment with the mission and vision to which we adhere in an innovative adhocracy of continuous learning that will lead our customer-focused team to greater success in the emerging world of global competition." -- Yuri Andropov on the future of the KGB (1983)
