it's fairly shit or mind numbing work but it's money.

Edinburgh doesn't have factories.
It's white collar central. Major banks and insurance companies. That sort of stuff is all out at Fife and Livingston. I'm not joking.

are there no shops/cafes in Edinburgh?

Plenty of those,
but that's really not something I'd be any good at... customer facing, nooo not me. This isn't me being fussy. I worked as a receptionist once and was utterly shit at it.
Besides, I've got a friend who's looking for exactly this kind of work, and has experience, and is having a pretty hard time of it.

Who cleans the banks and insurance companies?
Who cleans the windows, does the laundry, makes the food, delivers the post, there are lots of unskilled jobs in the city.

but I'm not seeing the adverts.
