Best Scottish Jewellery Gifts and Tartan in Old Town

Local Recommendations from our My Guide Edinburgh team

For every tourist coming to Edinburgh, buying at least one tartan product is a must!However, try to avoid the tourist traps, such as shops with lots of tartan 'tat' hanging outside, and loud Piped music.

There are a number of Scottish jewellery, gifts and tartan shops spread across the city centre, but the tartan mecca itself is to be found nowhere else but in the heart of the Old Town - on the the Royal Mile (High Street). You can find everything tartan-related here: kilts, skirts, trews, caps, hats, bagpipes, mugs, sweaters and much much more! The quality of these tartan shops spreads across the spectrum, from tacky, cheap and bad quality products to classy, more expensive, good value merchandise. My Destination Edinburgh has chosen a sample of the proper Scottish tartan, jewellery and gift shops, which can be trusted when in comes to quality and authenticity of products.
