The Shopping to Visit
Closes
Do not miss the small streets in Edinburgh Old Town, the so-called 'closes', which not only hide cosy backyards but also cheese shops, jewelers, and kilt designer shops. To regain some strength and energy after a long shopping spree, nibble on some shortbread, typical Scottish biscuits sold everywhere.
Victoria Street
Right by the Royal Mile you will find Victoria Street, where brightly coloured shops line up to sell all sorts of products to the city's visitors. Pick up artisan cheese, cutting edge fashion, or authentic Scottish design products, and when the hunger kicks in, head over to one of the many restaurants and pubs located within this vibrant area.
House of Fraser Jenners
House of Fraser Jenners is one of the top leading department stores in the United Kingdom. It features boutiques of all the major high-end brands selling clothing for men, women and children, as well as accessories and interior design decorations.
Waverley Mall
Located right next to Waverley Station, Waverley Mall is a shopping destination for both shopping fans and food lovers. Here you will not only find all sorts of clothing brands, but also a wide range of small food venues and coffee shops. It is great shopping spot for rainy days.
Sheila Fleet Stockbridge Edinburgh
Beautiful design comes naturally to Sheila Fleet, the designer of these lovely pieces of jewellery. Her designs are heavily inspired by the sea, the sky, and the colours of the landscapes of Scotland. You will most likely walk out of the shop either with a new neckless, a ring, or a pair of earrings.
Heritage of Scotland
If you want to take a piece of Scotland home with you, then do not miss a visit to Heritage of Scotland, the ultimate store for all things Scottish. They have kilts, bagpipes, rugby shirts, Celtic and Scottish jewellery, suits of armour and so much more.
