Edinburgh is now a shopper's paradise, and the range of goods on offer in the Edinburgh
shops, is as diverse as the City of Edinburgh itself. Go shopping in Edinburgh on
the Royal Mile, for shops that stock goods made in Scotland, and as Scotland is
famous for it's knitwear, you will find specialist shopping for the likes of Scottish
cashmere sweaters, and the finest of Scottish lambs wool, offered by any shop in
the country.
You can shop for antiques, Scottish CDs, tapes and records, gifts made in Scotland,
Scottish bagpipes, kilts and tartan woollen products all made in Scotland. A great
inexpensive gift from Scotland is Scottish shortbread which you will see in shops
all over Edinburgh. Luxury or budget priced you will find it all in the shops of
Edinburgh.
Princes Street
There cannot be many cities in the world where the foremost shopping street has
an uninterrupted view of an historic, medieval castle. Edinburgh's Princes Street
is the main shopping street in Edinburgh where you will find department stores such
as Debenhams, BHS and Marks & Spencers, and the glorious Princes Street Gardens
on the south side under the shadow of the breathtaking Edinburgh Castle.
