Cubitts opens first sites in Scotland

Cubitts opened its first practices outside of England and taken its total number of sites to 15 with two new stores in Edinburgh.

The Old Town site is located on West Bow and a second New Town practice has opened opposite the Scottish National Portrait Gallery on York Place.

Exclusive frames have been created for each store that celebrate the city’s history, design and culture with bold, round silhouettes as well as classic 60s shapes and aviator models.

Tom Broughton, founder of Cubitts said: ‘We've been trying to acquire the beautiful curving site at 88-92 West Bow for over six years. But when that moment came, we realised it was difficult to offer all our services within its diminutive shape, such as eye examinations, bespoke consultations and repairs.
