Multrees Walk is a pedestrian shopping precinct in Edinburgh, Scotland.

History

Festive decorations in 2011

Built in 2003 as part of a larger city centre redevelopment, it links St Andrew Square to the St James Quarter, lined on each side with designer stores selling clothing, artwork and various other luxury items. [1]

Harvey Nichols department store is the anchor of the development and has its main entrance on St. Andrew Square, with a smaller entrance onto Multrees Walk.

Multrees Walk, Harvey Nichols and Edinburgh Bus Station were all designed by Edinburgh architects CDA. The bus station sits at a lower level from Multrees and is accessed by escalators from St Andrew Square, or by a ramped entrance from Elder Street.

St Andrew Square tram stop is to the front of Harvey Nichols.
