Fashion & Shopping in Edinburgh

Luxury brands, high street stores and beautiful boutiques, we have it covered. Shopping in Edinburgh is a fantastic experience catering to all tastes, styles and budgets.

Princes Street

There's not many cities in the world where the foremost shopping thoroughfare has an interrupted view of a medieval castle, but Edinburgh's Princes Street does just that! It's unique in the sense that all the shops only line one side of the street, with the other side giving shoppers breathtaking views of the Old Town cityscape.

Home to huge flagship stores such as Debenhams, Frasers, Zara, Primark, M&S and the historic Jenners, Princes Street is the place to be to keep up with High Street fashion.

Tech enthusiasts will also be in their element, with the Apple Store at the east end of the street. There's also lots of health and beauty brands, including Boots, Superdrug and The Body Shop.

Princes Street Gardens is the venue for seasonal markets including the Traditional German Christmas Market while the Edinburgh Farmers' Market selling fresh, home grown produce is held every Saturday from 9am - 2pm in nearby Castle Terrace.

George Street

Running parallel to Princes Street is its stylish sibling - George Street home to many upmarket retail stores and several hotels. George Street is linked to Princes Street via Hanover St, Frederick St and Castle St. The street is one of the grandest in Edinburgh, with a wide thoroughfare, lovely Georgian architecture and bookended by the beautiful St Andrew and Charlotte Squares. There are also several notable buildings along the length of George Street, including the George Hotel, The Dome, and the famous Assembly Rooms.

Multrees Walk
Multrees Walk: The definition of luxury shopping in Edinburgh. Home of Scotland’s only Harvey Nichols, Louis Vuitton and Nespresso along with many other exclusive fashion brands, the Multrees Walk shopping experience is second to none.

With countless designer labels on offer, a trip to Harvey Nichols is a must for any visit to the centre of Edinburgh. You’ll find the likes of Celine, Victoria Beckham, Balenciaga, Gucci, Christopher Kane, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and a profusion of other luxury fashion brands all under one roof.
