Overview, Glasgow

If you are a shopaholic then the city centre is a must. Glasgow is home to all the usual 'high street stores' and a few less usual ones too! The two main shopping streets are Sauchiehall Steet and Argyle Street. There are also shopping centres in the centre of the city ('malls' as our North American friends would call them) - the St Enoch's Centre, Buchanan Galleries and Princes Arcade being the main ones.
If you prefer out-of-town shopping try Braehead (which has the advantage of being open in the evenings) or East Kilbride. There is also Glasgow Fort but I hesitate to recommend it as I haven't been there.

Anything and everything!

It depends on what you buy and where you buy it!

Directions: Buses, trains or (in some areas) the underground go into the city centre from all over Glasgow. Or, if you prefer, there are several carparks. There is a ferry from city centre to Braehead but I have never used it.

Pride o' the Clyde Vessel

The 'Pride o' the Clyde' runs a waterbus from Glasgow city centre to Braehead shoping centre. This half-hour journey is a nice way to travel to the Renfrewshire centre.

BRAEHEAD - www.braehead.co.uk
Braehead is a good mall to go to if the weathers crap or the shops are closing in the city centre. There's over 100 indoor shops here including IKEA, Sainsbury's, Next and Marks & Spencer! There's also a public ice skating rink, indoor arena and Maritime Heritage Centre. The centre is open to 9pm every night.

For 'Pride o' the Clyde fares see the website below....

	Overview: SHOP & MEET CELEBRITIES ON SAUCHIEHALL STREET

Sauchihall Street

Sauchiehall Street is Glasgow's most famous thoroughfare, partly because of its Scottish-sounding music-hall name, partly because it is such a popular street for shopping. Sauchiehall Street was always noted for its quality shops, with stores such as Pettigrew and Stephens, Copeland and Lye, Daly's, Hendersons - but Watt Bros is the only one to survive from these early days. When shops only opened for five and a half days a week, Sauchiehall Street always closed on Saturday afternoon. More "working class" customers did their shopping in the slightly more down-market Argyle Street, where the shops closed on Tuesday afternoons. Sauchiehall Street always had a good number of tearooms for the benefit of thirsty shoppers and the most famous was Miss Cranston's "Willow Tea-Rooms" (matching the name of the street).

You can shop anything & everything from the high street shops on this Street. Clothing & Entertainment everything is there.......

Its depends which shop you going to...
