This is pretty much the only place in the centre of Edinburgh you're going to get your junk-food carb hit after a night out, and it's always busy at the weekend and during the wee hours. As a result they stock mainly fast-food......pot noodles, ready-made meals, pizza's, sandwiches, but they also stock most of your basic necessities.\n\nAt the weekends and on particularly busy week-nights, they have bouncers at the door. This makes me feel safe....until CCTV captured one of the bodyguards stealing my friends mobile phone right out of her bag.\n\nIt's a good thing that this Scotmid is open 24/7, but it attracts homeless and drunk old men all the time. I don't think I've ever been in here without the police.\nSaying that, I always go back to get bacon and rolls for my midnight snacks.
