The Treasure Trove is a charitable organisation situated at 23a Castle Street, Edinburgh, which is literally a treasure trove. Within this very special shop goods are sold by the working members of the Royal Edinburgh Repository & Self Aid Society (a Scottish charity SCO 06702)

Everything is made by the working members of the society and there is a wide and varied selection of items, which include – home made preserves, tablet and other confectionary, hand made toys, jewellery and knitted articles as well as a wide selection of greetings cards.

The Treasure Trove is well worth a visit if only to admire the exquisite work on show. One garment in particular caught the eye of the Surfers – a beautiful christening robe knitted in one ply wool which no doubt will become a family heirloom. Goods can also be made to order from your own pattern or using your own material

This delightful shop is well worth a visit and a browse around as the selection is very varied. A big thank you to all the staff who made the Surfers last visit a pleasure.
