BBC - Scotland on Film

Anne from Glasgow. Posted 31 Jan 2005.
I remember being taken to Potter's shoe shop in Dundee for my school shoes and sandals. The children's department had wonderful murals on the walls and Miss Mary Mitchell, who was also my Brown Owl, was in charge.
The most fascinating item in the shop, however, was an "X-ray" machine, which purported to show the bones of the feet inside the shoes. There were viewing ports for the parent, assistant and child customer. I can't imagine health and safety legislation allowing that nowadays!
