Apple’s Edinburgh Scotland flagship store opens with bagpipes and haggis

Just kidding about the haggis but lovely grand opening with traditional local twist for the Edinburgh store.

    Been better if they had more then one photo of the exterior of the store. Think we know what the inside of Apple stores look like by now.

      It’s actually fairly difficult to get a good picture of the store from the outside. There isn’t really a good view of it from any angle since 90% of the time there is traffic in the way of any pictures from across the road and the path is too narrow to get a good picture up close.

        If you’ve got a camera that can do it and a tripod/something to keep it still, a long exposure should do the trick. That’s how they take photo’s of places like Time Square and make it appear like it’s totally empty. Depending how much traffic there is and how fast it flows a 1-2 min exposure should do the trick.

    This is what other companies haven’t accomplished!

      Apple set the bar so high for their Brick-and-Mortar stores, no other company can even get close to the level: customer supports, services, operations and expertise. The seriously excel at these. That’s the reason why people love to go to Apple stores. In comparison, Microsoft stores: boring like hell.

    Now, THIS is how you open an Apple Store. With bagpipes. Epic.

    Remember, if haggis were outlawed, only outlaws would have haggis.

      I hope it ended with employees and customers arm-in-arm singing Scottish fighting songs.

        I’m sorry to say, it did. I left at that point.
