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.

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 |

Whether it's hockey, tennis, basketball or swimming, they have top brand names in sportwear, footwear and equipment.
