West End

In the West End area, most shops are on or around Byres Road. Drop into small boutiques like bag retailer Pink Poodle or vintage fashion store Starry Starry Night and the Fopp record store.

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.
