Or recommendations for an Edinburgh bike shop that can change/fettle the free hub off a Genesis Caribou?

After the place I originally took it to (not in Edinburgh) twice failed miserably.

I'm lead to believe that it's a known problem and they were being replaced under warranty, but I'm not too bothered about paying as long as wherever I take it to can actually do it. Work commitments are making it difficult for me to take it to my usual LBS in Perth.

What you got?

The Bike Works - 29-30 Argyle Place, Edinburgh EH9 1JJ

Excellent service/know how - only place that touches my bike.

The Bike Works, as above, and Pedals, on Bruntsfield Place, would probably be my starting points for Edinburgh bike mechanics.

The Cycle Service on West Richmond Street (Pleasance area) are very good.

Eastside Bikes is good. I used them a couple of times when I was over that end of town. Had them service an alfine hub and fix a broken spoke. All good, would probably still be using them if I was based there.

+1s for both The Bicycle Works and the Cycle Service. Good opening times for dropping off / picking up too.

Is pedals still there? I walked past the other day and it looked like they had closed or moved.
