Edinburgh

Edinburgh offers a vibrant and varied shopping experience, blending high-street favourites with independent boutiques and artisan stores. Guests can explore the iconic Princes Street, home to well-known brands with stunning views of the castle, or wander up to George Street for a more refined selection of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle shops. For something more unique, the historic Grassmarket and Victoria Street boast charming independent retailers, gift shops, and Scottish craft stores.

Traditional products

Cashmere, tweed and tartan

The most popular fabrics from Scotland are cashmere, tweed and tartan. Jumpers, scarfs or kilts (what the Scottish men wear instead of trousers) make very good gifts.

Whisky

If you are looking for different varieties of whisky, then Scotland is the place to go. However, do note that Scotch whisky is relatively expensive, especially compared to other European countries such as Spain: although a whisky connoisseur would surely say price here comes proportional to quality.

Biscuits

Although oatcakes and shortbread are the most popular types of Scottish biscuits, the country offers a wide variety of cookies and sweets. In our opinion, these make for a great present and are quite cheap.

Haggis

If you’ve grown a taste for haggis on your trip to Scotland you can buy it in tins and take it back with you so that your family and friends can also taste it.

Music

A trip to Scotland would not be the same without its traditional bagpipe music being played in pubs and shops. If you’ve enjoyed the music, why not buy a CD to remember Scotland by?
