rufnaf Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'm going to visit Edinburgh in early winter. Is the city user friendly for the use of fur coats, is it possible to see coats on the street easily, as seen in Rome, Milan, London? Thanks to anyone who can answer!

Furworship Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Scotland is cold all year round mostly but I doubt if real fur would go down too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongleboy Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Well, I live in Edinburgh and can assure any visitors that they will not be intimidated by anti-fur protesters! I wear fur throughout the winter and all I receive are compliments. I’ve been ‘fur spotting’ for almost 30 years now and there’s no rhyme nor reason to the amount of fur to be seen at any given time. I’ve been to Milan and Edinburgh is very poor compared to what is one of my favourite cities. Most of the fur to be seen in Edinburgh will be worn by tourists although there is a small part of the indigenous population who will not be bullied out of their furs. Most fur will be seen at the tourist hot spots such as The Castle, The Royal Mile and Princes Street. For some odd reason, Tuesdays are a good day for fur spotting! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongleboy Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 There used to be a well known department store called Jenners in Princes Street where one could reliably see women wearing fur but, alas, it’s closed now although there’s talk of it re-opening. The street in the New Town that runs parallel to Princes Street is George Street which is MUCH more upmarket although that isn’t as reliable for seeing furs as the hot spots I mentioned. The one time when one could guarantee seeing fur was Hogmanay but it’s been very thin on the ground these last few years. (Even before Covid). Please let me know if I can be any help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastfur Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 My experience of Edinburgh is that the fast majority of fur to be seen is faux. Not against that in any way but sadly sometimes the quality to be seen is pretty lousy. Can't recall the last time I saw real fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastfur Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 To be fair, Edinburgh is a wonderful city to visit. It is enjoyable with or without fur!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furcoats Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I went to Edinburgh with my wife this Christmas. Although she wore fur, there wasn’t many other people wearing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanBru Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Fur aside, I can't imagine why anyone would travel to Edinburgh by choice, when Glasgow is MILES better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not, but she was wearing an oversized raccoon fur hood with matching hat and cuffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bae99599 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 i think in general there's a bit more of an easy approach to fur coats, you'll find a lot of girls in edinburgh wear them. saw two in rex rabbit fur coats at the markets last xmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better travel to Frankfurt instead of Glasgow, it's miles better 😉 That was a hell of a night Wednesday... btw, Frankfurt is although good town in terms of fur spotting. And nice as well.
