Considered to be the best shopping experience outside London, pounding Glasgow's pavements for designer goodies and high street brands is a joy - with the main shopping areas compact and pedestrianised. 
If you’re looking for something just a little different there’s no shortage of quirky independent stores especially in the West End. And discerning fans of Tartan souvenirs, shortbread and kilts will also find their  treats of choice.
Shops tend to be open seven days a week, usually till 18:00 and late night till on Thursdays.
