Edinburgh and Scottish Collection
Flats now occupy the site of Goldbergs department store. It was ahead of its time when it opened at High Riggs, Tollcross, Edinburgh in 1960, a modern construction on five floors, with roof garden, nursery and menagerie. It was intended to be the showpiece in a new road system for Tollcross, but the new roads were never built.
Competition from elsewhere in Edinburgh, particularly the new St James Centre at the East End of Princes Street in the 1970s, made trading conditions difficult. Goldbergs finally closed in 1990.
