Romanis & Paterson is the oldest shop in Princes Street, Edinburgh, where they have been trading since 1808. I don't know where the original Mr. Romanis came from, but an awful lot of Borderers have moved to Edinburgh over the years, including many of my own relatives.

(Sorry, the photo of the shop from their website hasn't materialised!).
