The Story of Burberry Edinburgh
Reflecting over 160 years of British outerwear excellence, Burberry’s Multrees Walk boutique showcases the venerable brand's contemporary creative direction alongside its utilitarian military roots. Established by Thomas Burberry in 1856, the house pioneered water-resistant gabardine fabric, outfitting early polar explorers and aviation pioneers before cementing its status as an emblem of modern British luxury.
The Edinburgh store features a striking interior architecture framed by sleek mirrored pillars, brushed chrome, and bespoke Scottish-inspired check installations. The centerpiece remains the iconic Heritage Trench Coat collection—still produced in Castleford, Yorkshire—available in signature Kensington, Chelsea, and Waterloo cuts across honey, black, and military green hues.
Beyond outerwear, the boutique presents seasonal ready-to-wear, precision-cut tailoring, fine silk scarves, cashmere wraps woven in Scottish mills, and leather accessories. The attentive team provides bespoke trench coat monogramming consultations and styling advice tailored to Edinburgh’s atmospheric maritime climate.
