Title

Edinburgh shop survey

Abstract

The shops database is a record of a comprehensive survey of all shops in Edinburgh which was carried out in September / October 2010, based on a mixture of site inspection and records from the Lothian Valuation Joint Board (LVJB). It updates similar surveys which were done in 1986, 1996 and 2004, to provide a long-term perspective on retail change in the city.
