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 |

An absolute must for overseas visitors who want to buy traditionally Scottish gifts for friends and family back home. This shop stocks everything connected with Caledonia except haggis and cabers, although they could probably get you one if you really wanted. The name Pringle is generally associated with golf jumpers, which they still manufacture and sell, along with more fashionable styles of knitwear. They also have knitwear from Johnstons of Elgin, Harris Tweed, Celtic jewellery, shortbread, clan information and lots of tartan. The company is part of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill so expect the same high quality and friendly hospitable atmosphere. As well as sterling and credit cards, they accept US dollars and most major EU currencies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tasteful gifts |
Princes Square 48 Buchanan Street Glasgow G1 3JX United Kingdom +44 141 248 2885 |
Upmarket gifts made exclusively by independent Scottish designers are the perfect choice for friends with high standards. This is a completely tartan free zone as the many sculptures, ceramics and engraved mirrors on display are far too tasteful to sink to such patriotically garish depths. All of the craft items are pleasing to the eye and reassuringly expensive. Review © 2007, Wcities |
