Vogue Video

Vogue Video is a testament to the wonders that can be worked when an indie shop wins the support of its community. This wee place fought a Spartan battle against the big boys when a Blockbuster opened across the road a few years ago. Vogue Vids survived, and has been been going strong for yonks and yonks ever since.

It could be something to do with Edinburgh's ongoing support for Ye Olde vibes when it comes to anything from vinyl records to vintage faux fur coats; or perhaps Vogue is being kept afloat by creatives who're gnawing away at the extensive art house cinema collection instore.

There's also a decent collection of TV box-sets alongside your usual crowd pleasers. The owner is also always more than happy to give you recommendations and doesn't treat late returns as an insult to everything that is good and right in the world.

Oh, and he has put his own face on a cardboard cut-out of Bruce Willis in Die Hard 4. Classic.
