shopping

Edinburgh has it all with regard to shopping: department stores, friendly little boutiques, the traditional, the new, the expected and the unexpected.

Princes Street is the location for Scotland's most famous shop, Jenners (the oldest independent department store in the world), which has a fabulous food hall. The main modern shopping centres are Cameron Toll Centre, 6 Lady Road, and the Waverley Shopping Centre on also on Princes Street.

The Royal Mile , on the other hand, is scattered with off-beat stores and souvenir sellers. Nearby Grassmarket (a trading place since 1477) and Victoria Street are packed with arts and crafts shops, bookshops and specialist food stores. Some of the city's smartest designer stores, such as Escada, are along George Street in the New Town.

In general, shops are open 0900-1730, with late-night shopping on Thursday until 1930 or 2000. Sunday opening is increasingly popular, particularly among the larger stores.

Visitors to Edinburgh who want to take home a little piece of Scotland may be tempted by tartan fabrics, Celtic-inspired jewellery, shortbread and, of course, whisky. All these items are available from numerous boutiques and specialist shops in the city. Many shops (especially those frequented by tourists) are part of the tax-free scheme. Visitors must keep their receipts and fill out a claim form to have the VAT refunded.
