Walker Slater w: walkerslater.com
Scottish tweed specialists Walker Slater appeal to individually-minded men and women who covet a finely crafted suit for work or an inspired tweed ensemble for lounging in the country. Renowned for careless elegance and careful tailoring, they are based on Edinburgh's Victoria Street and have a loyal (and envied) customer base. One of our WPBF authors refuses to participate unless he is given a Walker Slater tie as a present for participating (we give all authors presents).

Established in 2001 with some 250 different lines, Henderson Wines, based in Edinburgh, has grown considerably in just 8 years. They now offer 1000 wines for sale as well as over 100 beers and 50 or so Malts. Combining this sterling stock with friendly customer service and more besides, this fantastic independent wine shop is the perfect for grabbing plonk, champagne and plenty more besides.
