Whigmaleeries

Description:

• Whigmaleeries is the name of a Scottish country dance for three couples. The traditional background music played here may indeed grab you to do the Gay Gordons, alas there is little room to swing a sporran let alone do a Highland jig in this well-stocked souvenir store. Also known as All Things Scottish and Plaid, this company has three shops in Edinburgh selling kitsch mementoes. This store offers a wide choice of tartan treats for the tourist, with classic mugs, fridge-magnets, novelty hats and much more besides. The other Royal Mile branch is at 344 Lawnmarket and stocks more upmarket souvenirs, such as replica weaponry, glass and china. If you can't find that elusive Scots item to take home, try their third branch at 2 Upper Bow.
