Buchanan Street

In the city’s main street, the shopping options are rather varied and you will find, on its either sides, both the usual cadre of mid-range chain stores and the upmarket boutiques.

Shopping

Glasgow has three main shopping districts: the Merchant City, Buchanan Street, and the West End. The Merchant City’s beautiful old buildings now house street fashion shops, but also make room for luxury boutiques. The gigantic Buchanan Galleries and the pricey Princess Square are good for efficient shopping. West End is the place to go for those looking to shop around for artisan items in some of the local independent boutiques. One souvenir to be brought from Glasgow is a bottle of quality Scottish whisky.
