Hi,
Going to stock up on some materials tomorrow. Does anyone know a tackle shop that has a good range of fly tying materials in Edinburgh lothian region.
I stay near queensferry
Cheers

Crafteye as Moray said.
I like Country Fair at the end of Gorgie Road.
If you are really stuck Orvis has a shop just off Charlotte Square opposite Ryan's Bar in the West End.

Crafteye is good. My personal favourite is Mike's Tackle Shop on Portobello High St.

Talking about Edinburgh fishing tackle shops takes me back to my days when I worked in Shooting Lines on Roseburn Terrace. That was about 25 years ago and it doesn't exist any longer. In it's day I reckon it was the best tackle shop in Edinburgh.
