Shopping in Scotland

It's not just about hitting the shops on a city break to Scotland - though our high street stores and designer boutiques are pretty fabulous. It's about capturing your very own piece of Scotland - whether it is a stunning painting, a beautiful piece of clothing, or a tasty treat - to take home with you and remind you of your amazing holiday to Scotland.

Shopping inspiration

Look out for little shops everywhere you go - they're not just on the main streets, but will often be down by the harbour, in art galleries or even on countryside farms.

City and town centres

From the miles of shops in our city centres to the independent boutiques of our towns, you'll find a great choice on our main streets. Head for the city centre for a selection of high street, designer, independent, food and drink shops and much more.

Uniquely Scottish

Once you've seen our beautiful views, you'll understand why hundreds of artists, designers and craftspeople are inspired to make so many wonderful products. Think unique jewellery, fashion, Harris Tweed, pottery and even tasty food and drink.

Markets and fairs

As well as a great choice of shops, markets and fairs are often held across the country. Choose from hundreds of farmers' markets, art fairs and vintage clothing events. During major festivals, look out for pop up events and stalls which bring together a wide range of producers offering fantastic items for you to browse, buy and take home.
