I bought a pair of binoculars from Blacks in Ayr recently. After only a few weeks I'm having problems with them and decided to return them to the Glasgow branch. Went in to Glasgow tonight to find it's closed down and theres a clothes shop in its place. What happened to it, and is there still a branch in Edinburgh?

Blacks went into administration in January and was bought over by JD Sports so they are probably cutting stores. Not sure about Edinburgh. Might still be there: http://www.blacksleisure.co.uk/store/storeFinder.html

The one in Edinburgh is still there. I wasn't impressed with the service though.
