Shopping in Edinburgh
When you visit Britain's most stunning city you deserve to buy a souvenir of equal measure. Here's where to shop in Edinburgh
You may think that the cobbled street that leads up to Edinburgh Castle would be the ultimate tourist trap - and for the most part it is. But, that said, you can still find some pretty amazing items and deals in the shops that line the Royal Mile. Keep your eyes peeled for these three things: Tartan scarves, Celtic jewelry and kilts.
Princes Street, meanwhile, is home to mainstream shops like Dorothy Perkins, H&M, Top Shop, Marks & Spencer and the Scottish department store, Jenners. It's a fashionista's dream!
For a modern spin to the tartan look, the High Street boutique Ness sells skirts, sweaters, purses and more in bold tartan pastels. Their tartan wellington boots also come in handy for Scottish-style weather wherever you are in the world!
George Street, the centerpiece of the New Town, is an up-and-coming area and now boasts high quality shops and restaurants including Browns, Space NK Apothecary, Austin Reed, Cruise, Jones, Phase Eight, French Connection, and many others.
But if you are looking for great items at modest prices, head to the Livingston Designer Outlet. Located 25 kilometers (16 miles) southwest of Edinburgh, it offers upscale outlet shopping with an impressive collection of 90 designer and name brand outlet stores. Enjoy savings of 25 to 50 percent every day. Stores include Calvin Klein, GAP, Armani, Clarks, Reebok, Le Creuset, Zavvi, Cadbury's, Claire's, Levi's, Next and many more.
