The Ultimate Edinburgh Souvenir Guide: Best Bang for Your Buck! 💰🎁

Edinburgh is a shopper’s paradise—even London couldn’t tempt me like this! Here’s where to snag the best-value souvenirs on the Royal Mile and Princes Street. 🧣 Cashmere & Wool Scarves Pure Cashmere: 2 for £95 at Kiltlane (📍330 Lawnmarket, EH1 2PH). 100% Wool: Look for "Made in Scotland" labels! Snagged mine opposite Kiltlane for £35/2 scarves (+ a 30% wool hat). Avoid "luxury" unbranded scarves (£6-10)—often not Scottish-made. 🎶 Bagpipe Fridge Magnets Cheapest found at Sortland Experience for £6.99 (📍324-326 Lawnmarket). (Almost paid £7.99 elsewhere—phew!) 👜 Harris Tweed Bags Islander UK (📍42 Candlemaker Row) has the best selection—classic styles + prices tagged. Pro tip: Nearby shops may offer secret discounts (got a leather bargain with help from Chinese staff!). Open till 8PM. 🐾 Red-Scarf Westie Plush Edinburgh Castle gift shop (2nd floor): £29.99 (down from £34.9). Royal Mile shops: Mini versions for £5.99 (Jellycat dupes at a fraction of the price!). Skip overpriced £9.99 ones. 🍪 Walker’s Shortbread Skip Sainsbury’s (often sold out). Romances & Paterson (📍62 Princes St) has 4 tins for £7.99—plus 50% off wool hats! 🎩 ⏰ Heads up: Most shops close by 6PM—shop early! #Edinburgh #SouvenirHunting #TravelTips #UKShopping
