Shopping in Edinburgh

Scotland's capital has much to offer in terms of good old-fashioned retail therapy. The most popular street is Princes Street in the New Town. Lined with department and chain stores it’s undoubtedly the place to venture to if you're looking for the big guns such as Jenners and Harvey Nichols, or well-known brands such as H&M.

Not far from Princes Street is Rose Street with its smaller, more individual shops. The area is a pedestrian zone so it’s a safe place to wander around and lose yourself in shopping delirium. George Street on the other hand tends to have more upscale shops and brands such as Laura Ashley and Waterstones. Antique shops can be found on Dundas street, but if you're looking for boutiques Thistle Street is your destination.

For souvenirs shopping try the Royal Mile it’s dotted with whiskies, tartans and tweeds.
