To be fitted out by design and architect agency Four-by-Two, the new store will occupy two floors of Multrees Walk just off the heart of St Andrew’s Square when it opens early next year.

Thomas & Adamson will manage health and safety in the design phase of the project and provide Four-by-Two with competent advice throughout.

Les Banks, partner in charge of UK construction safety services at Thomas and Adamson, said: “Multrees Walk is the home of luxury retail in Edinburgh. The addition of Johnstons of Elgin enriches the existing retailers and provides Edinburgh residents and visitors the opportunity to purchase beautiful cashmere and knitwear, expertly manufactured in Scotland.

“It’s a privilege to work alongside Four-By-Two to undertake the role of Principal Designer. With their extensive experience in interior, architecture and branding you can expect the store will be finished to an exceptionally high standard.  We look forward to the opening of the new store early next year.”
