Holyrood Bargain Hunters: Knights of Penny-Pinching Prestige

Ah, the Holyrood Bargain Hunters, a rabble of thrifty kilt-wearers who quest through the aisles of Edinburgh's markets like knights in search of the Holy Grail of discount glory. With the cunning of William Wallace and the grace of a Highland cow, these scavengers of deals storm places like the Royal Mile Market and Stockbridge's Sunday flea market. Their motto: 'Why pay full price when you can haggle like a drunken Scotsman at closing time?' They share tips better than a tippler shares his whisky, and revel in their findings—an ancient artifact (read: 1980s vinyl), or exotic cuisine (read: haggis-flavored crisps). All with the enthusiasm of someone who's never paid full retail in their lives. If you're going to fork out your hard-earned quid, better do it with pride and panache à la Holyrood.
