History
File:Multrees Walk - geograph.org.uk - 2739580.jpg
Built in 2003 as part of a larger city centre redevelopment, it links St Andrew Square to the St James Quarter, lined on each side with designer stores selling clothing, artwork and various other luxury items. {{Cite web|url=https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/harvey-nichols-celebrates-ten-years-edinburgh-1605762|title = Harvey Nichols celebrates ten years in Edinburgh}}
Harvey Nichols department store is the anchor of the development and has its main entrance on St. Andrew Square, with a smaller entrance onto Multrees Walk.
Multrees Walk, Harvey Nichols and Edinburgh Bus Station were all designed by Edinburgh architects CDA. The bus station sits at a lower level from Multrees and is accessed by escalators from St Andrew Square, or by a ramped entrance from Elder Street.
St Andrew Square tram stop is to the front of Harvey Nichols.
