 Comics and graphic novels |
31-35 Parnie Street Trongate Glasgow G1 5RJ United Kingdom +44 141 552 6692 http://www.a1comics.com/ |
A vast selection of graphic novels and comics both new and back catalogue, which you may be able to avoid paying full price on, can be browsed and bought here. Their discount schemes are generous to say the least - 10 per cent off for students and the unemployed, five per cent off if you have a standing order. As well as the comics themselves, there's lots of tie-in merchandise from cult television programmes, movies and computer games but the shop is fairly big so doesn't seem cluttered.

 Scotland's Oldest Diving Centre |
30 Stanley Street Glasgow G41 1JB United Kingdom +44 0141 429 7575 http://www.aquatron.co.uk/ |
Aquatron is Scotland's oldest diving centre, it's been around since 1969. It sells all the diving equipment and accessories you could possibly want and will be happy to advise on what's best for your needs. In addition, it has a five-star scuba diving school, which runs classes approximately once a month (a basic qualification can be achieved after five separate days of training). Once you've mastered the art of underwater existence - or if you're already an expert - Aquatron will help you to arrange safe but exciting trips to more exotic waters as scuba diving in the River Clyde apparently offers few rewards.

 Largest jewellers' arcade in Scotland |
30 Buchanan Street Glasgow G2 8BX United Kingdom +44 141 221 6680 |
Argyll Arcade is a covered street which has the biggest selection of jewelers in Scotland all under one roof. John Baird takes the credit for its ornate iron-framed hammerbeam roof which is as pleasing to the eye as the glittering contents of the shop window displays. The L-shaped arcade was built in 1904 and to this day houses an array of local jewelery designers' shops as well as antique jewelers shops. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Anyone who's ever wanted to run away and join the circus will love this colorful shop. The best toys are the old-fashioned ones that don't break when accidentally stood upon, and that's exactly what you'll find here. They stock chunky toy boats, juggling equipment, kites, face paints, rocking horses, parachutes, earth balls, puppets, Russian matrioshka dolls, clockwork toys, stocking fillers and much, much more. The owners also organize circus skills workshops and hire out clowns for special occasions. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Get your Hoops gear here |
21 High Street Glasgow G1 1LX United Kingdom +44 141 552 7630 |
This is the relatively central alternative for Celtic FC fans to buy all the Hoops gear they can carry when they can't be bothered going to Parkhead. Queues form outside this particular shop when a new strip is in the air, with everybody gasping to get their mitts on the new colours first. In addition, there are plenty of souvenirs to bankrupt you and the prices are comparable to any other Premier League team. Since it's an official shop, customers can rest easy in the knowledge that they aren't shelling out for shoddy, counterfeit goods. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Standard and reliable store |
97 Argyle Street Glasgow G2 8AR United Kingdom +44 844 561 6161 http://www.debenhams.com/ |
This is a good, reliable store in the city centre with a wide range of home accessories and clothes. Debenhams has not traditionally been thought of as the classiest of department stores but the introduction of designers such as Jasper Conran and Pierce Fionda has led to an up-turn in their chic reputation. They now provide high quality suits and dresses at reasonable prices and have quite a few trendy labels in stock too. Hats are a specialty (Philip Treacy designs them), as is the wedding-list service they provide. Every year they run a Bride of the Year competition, which focuses and consolidates their Bridal strengths. The first-floor cafe is a popular place for shoppers to refuel during a retail marathon.

Special wedding ranges fill the glittering display that attracts plenty of window shoppers. Inside, expect the kind of service usually reserved for gold credit card holders only but with a policy of affordability for all, their prices aren't prohibitive. Review © 2007, Wcities |

One of the city's coolest and most popular shops, this place sells the latest creations from people such as Stussy, X-Large, Hysteric Glamour, Spiewalk and Evisu and about half of the lines are exclusive to Jives.

 Three floors of trainers |
132 Argyle Street Glasgow G2 8BL United Kingdom http://www.footlocker.com/ |
A recent winner of the International Store Design Award, it's taken this company quite long enough to open a branch in Scotland's most stylish city. If you're into trainers and the sports casual look then prepare to be very over-excited by the ranges of trainers that are exclusive to this store. Sports shoes and clothing for all the family are spread over three floors and it's easy to find a helpful assistant because they're dressed like referees, very handy if a fight ensues over the last pair of pink Nikes.

This is Gap's flagship store in Glasgow. It's an all-American classic with a preppy but casual look. In addition to clothes for men and women, they sell matching children's clothes so that the whole family can dress alike. Baby clothes are cute and are highly sought after as many a celebrity infant is kitted out in this gear, a shop solely dealing in the Baby Gap range can be found in Buchanan Galleries. Accessories range from trendy bags, belts and scarves to underwear and toiletries. Sizing is American so if you're not sure what will fit, check the wall chart or ask one of their helpful staff.

This place will have you literally climbing the walls. In this converted church, you can look to God as well as expert tuition to learn the art of climbing. Several custom-built walls and boulders, covered in realistic niches and crevices, provide a challenge for all levels from absolute beginners to experienced climbers. All the necessary equipment can be hired and it's an inexpensive way to spend a rainy afternoon. The centre is also a good resource for advice about technique and great places to climb in Scotland while Summits Shop on the premises allows you to stock up on ropes, harnesses, rock shoes and practice holds before you head off on a quest for the perfect view.

Glasgow institution |
21 Buchanan Street Glasgow G1 3HF United Kingdom +44 141 221 3880 http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/ |
Frasers is an institution which shows a Glasgow both traditional and modern. Although this chain can now be found in cities across the UK, it was founded here in 1849. It houses European designer clothes as well as upmarket Scottish tweeds and tartans. The interior is splendidly ornate, with a grand staircase leading to the other floors and balconies. The store is huge, lavish and designed like a maze, so it's even easier than usual to lose yourself in the joy of shopping. The ground floor is devoted to menswear (both classic and contemporary), shoes, upmarket cosmetics concessions (including MAC, Bobbi Brown, Aveda and Philosophy) and accessories. Three more floors house collections of designer wear and high street gear for women and children, high quality furniture, a cappuccino bar and a restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Even if you're not actually in the market for a timepiece, you should pop in here to absorb the calming sound of the tick-tocking of the clocks. Old, second-hand models sit peacefully next to brand new ones, with almost all budgets and tastes catered for. The range and the service are both excellent and if you feel like being pampered as you purchase then this shop will be a haven. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fine jewellery yes, but traditional, no. Lots of young designers have been brought together to showcase their work in this shop that shows off their wares in a gallery setting. The glass cabinets can be easily accessed so you can lovingly stroke the soft metals shaped into hearts, circles, stars and moons.

This is a sign you'll also see at 685 Great Western Road and 82 Oswald Street. The prices are easy on the pocket and they offer a 10 per cent student discount on all stock. Any of these stores is an indie-fan's mecca, but this is the main branch where there always seems to be a sale on and there are regular band appearances. Most genres are covered and it's also a great place to pick up tickets for upcoming gigs. If you want to offload some embarrassing purchases or hunt for bargains then head down to the second-hand specialist shop at Oswald Street. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This family-run business is one of the friendliest shops in Glasgow. Stepping over the threshold is like entering a bygone age, so if you want a story to tell your friends that no one else will have, this place is definitely worth a visit. As well as the packed window display in which Victorian earrings, rings and lockets jostle for space with nouveau brooches and pendants, there's an honest valuation service. Ask for a valuation and you'll probably get the history of the piece too. Review © 2007, Wcities |

70-76 Argyle Street Glasgow G2 8AG United Kingdom +44 141 226 3311 http://www.next.co.uk/ |
This is a large and busy store that comprises clothing for all the family and a range of items to adorn your home. The latter includes an array of stylish candles and knicknacks, bed linen, covers for cushions and a range of crockery. The clothes are much the same - menswear features good-quality jumpers and sweaters in mostly neutral colors as well as a fairly wide choice of suits, shirts, ties, socks and so on. The womens wear range makes concessions to street wear, with combat style trousers, body warmers and fleeces, but the more classic and formal end of the range is well represented too and it's a great place to buy a suit. Children and babies are well catered for, with adorable and soft mini-fleeces, combats and hooded tops. Everything in this store is sensibly priced and of good quality. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Occupying a prime site on Argyle Street, this Glasgow institution has suffered of late from the influx of bargain sports stores popping up all over town. Subsequently they have slashed already reasonable prices to compete but fortunately haven't compromised on the width of their range. Whether it's hockey, tennis, basketball or swimming, they have top brand names in sportwear, footwear and equipment. Football is given merely equal shelf space to the other sports featured, a breath of fresh air in a football crazy town. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Based in Orkney, these silversmiths have been producing jewellery for over 30 years. There's a big emphasis on tradition, but with the magical blend of Scottish and Norse cultures you'll soon realize that there's nothing quite like it. Designs are based on original markings, artefacts and drawings from the Hebrides, like the Pictish stone designs in the Orkney range. The Charles Rennie Mackintosh range is particularly popular. Mail and on-line ordering mean you can have a piece of Scotland's heritage wherever you are in the world. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The St Enoch Centre is the largest all-glass building in Europe and that is probably the best thing you can say about it visually. It has, however, become one of Glasgow's best-known landmarks. The complex contains over 80 stores, mostly chains, and Scotland's biggest food court. You can expect to find many British high street stores here such as Boots, BhS, Debenhams, Oasis, Burton and TK Maxx. Their kiddy cabs and children's play area make shopping with the whole family a little less stressful and the choice of eating options will keep everyone happy. It may not offer the city's most exciting shopping experience but the huge variety of shops all under one roof makes this a good choice for retail therapy in a city that enjoys more than its fair share of rainy days.

There are only two branches of this store in Glasgow, the Tesco Metro in the city centre, and a larger version in Milngavie. They may be outnumbered by other supermarket chains but this is an essential stop for most people who work in the center, as well as shoppers on their way home. All the usual everyday household products and foods are here, represented by the most popular brands and Tesco's excellent own-label goods. Freshly baked bread gives the store an enticing aroma, and the Danish pastries are particularly tasty. A fairly new idea is the gourmet section, which offers pre-packed ready meals and deli-type foods of a decidedly upmarket quality. Review © 2007, Wcities |
