“Assuring you of our best attention at all times” has been the watchword at Murrays department store of distinction for a hundred years.
Murrays of Edinburgh -department store of distinction. The story begins in 1975 as the Edinburgh store, which remains in the private ownership of the Murray family, celebrates its centenary. It is the preoccupation of its current Director, Miss Margaret Murray, to maintain standards yet move the creaking edifice into the 1970s without losing its unusual ethos.
Despite its beautiful, inconvenient and theatrical building, Murrays is a place largely defined by its staff and customers: their dramas, comedies and tragedies large and small mark each working day. Life, death, laughter and some big surprises go on at the store.
From Barry, the inept head of security and sweet old ladies who are not what they seem to a certain high profile customer, the stories cover a wide variety of issues faced and managed to a greater or lesser extent by the people who work or shop in this magnificent edifice.
