Focus Skate Store

Scotland's longest-running Edinburgh skate shop, supplying hardware, shoes and clothing since 2001 from a store on the Canongate stretch of the Royal Mile. The shop team includes some of the best riders in Scotland, which is exactly who you want advising on a comeback setup before a session at Saughton.

Focus describes itself as Scotland’s premier skate shop and has the tenure to back it — trading since 2001 with deep roots in the Edinburgh scene, and a shop team made up of riders rather than retail staff. Opening hours change seasonally, so check the shop’s hours page before travelling. Saughton Skatepark, free and open around the clock a few minutes west of the centre, is the park to pair it with; Clan Skates in Glasgow is the other Scottish shop listed here.
