Love Boots and always shop there when home .... it would be terribly sad not to have them. They are so part of us all growing up in Edinburgh and many other cities

Alex Strachan

It’s such a shame that they keep closing iconic british stores, Boots, John Menzies, Woolworths and so many others uniquely British brands for decades. The high streets are forever changing to fast food and hotels. Used to love visiting so many shops at the weekend

Kerry Hoskins

Hope Boots at Fort Kinnaird stays, but they defo need to vamp it up a bit

Van Allan

Boots were always in danger after Superdrug arrived. Boots also tend to be more expensive than Superdrug. Hopefully, there can still be at least one Boots in each city the currently have a few stores in

Laura McLachlan

Boots is an iconic institutio­n. Shame that many large chains and supermarke­ts are tied up with suppliers in rigged cartels. Prices far too high and too full of plastic

Karen Hay

They will have to improve their home delivery service then because it’s slow and clunky. I’d rather buy from somewhere else instead

Liane Barr

So sad! Love Boots!

Sheila Wilson

Maybe be a bit more competitiv­e price wise if they want to remain open. Their prices are ridiculous with Home Bargains and B&M being half their price

Trefor Williams

Huge profits yet closing lots of stores? Surely this cannot be allowed? If it does happen, it is up to the government to ensure each and every redundancy receive the absolute maximum entitlemen­t available – out of those profits. Disgusting

Sheila Mack

I think it’s time Boots disappeare­d from the High Street there are too many of them just giving out prescripti­ons as for anything else worth buying nothing

Margaret Fowler

Shame if they close Princes Street store in Edinburgh. It’s much better than St James Centre!

Natalie La Pierre

Lol maybe do something about those ridiculous prices. Pharmacy is ok, but rest can go…

Alexander B John

Boots ain’t exactly the most competitiv­e when it comes to prices

Heldo McWhirterr

Covid lockdown and subsequent recession, folks can’t afford such overpriced luxuries
