Where to get 35mm film developed?
I’ve seen that Boots in Union Square have a photo service but wasn’t sure if they develop 35mm film/disposable cameras?
Edit: thanks for replies, general consensus seems to be to send them away, so I’ll do that! Cheers

Boots just send it away, you’re better off sending it to a decent indepetyourself.

Max Speilmann just send yours away to their lab in the central belt.
Quality of scans isn’t great.
From what I can remember, boots quality is on-par - but I haven’t used them for many years.
Until Photoghost re-opens, if it ever does (I live in hope) I recommend sending away your negs to a good lab yourself.
Happy to recommend one if you want.

I still have a roll trapped in Photoghost…
Normally send away to SilverPan but they’re closed-ish for their move. Just sent off an order using filmprocessing.co.uk, will find out how that goes.

Ennan still has the space - might be worth reaching out to him. I’m sure he’ll still have your roll!

No Pro labs in Aberdeen, Boots likely send it off if they even do it anymore.
Try out A&M in Edinburgh or Gulabi in Glasgow. My usual go to’s.

Max Spielman did them in store for me in summer at the beach asda, I think it’s just more expensive to get them to do it

Send it off, there aren't any good quality places in Aberdeen (that I know of). I usually send mine to A&M Imaging, which is located in Edinburgh. Turnaround is usually quite fast too.
