Kilts & Cashmere Of Scotland

Reviewed By cgarasi04 - Albuquerque, United States

Based on other reviews I stopped by this shop to see if I could purchase gifts from my wife and daughter. I met Ashley who was so very helpful; taking me about the store and helping me to understand the types of materials and the various colored patterns. What I read from other reviews is very true, the store assistants are there to help. What a truly interesting and beautiful selection of items to choose from. Thank you Ashley.

Argyll Arcade

Reviewed By Margo7850p

At the start of the Buchanan street where it meets Argyle Street and St Enoch Square, is the historic Argyll Arcade, which opened in 1827 with sixty-three shops and is now the oldest Victorian shopping centre in Britain. Brilliant stylish Victorian Arcade with numerous jewelry and watch shops covering the whole spectrum of watches and jewelry. It is usually quiet and has a really good selection of jewelry stores to suit all budgets. Fantastic surroundings, has charm. Best place for diamonds and watches in Glasgow, so if you need them....If not, it's worth going and watching too.

High quality shop with superb customer care. The staff are not staff like Next or H&M, they know their products and can 'Size' you at a glance. With the trend now for not putting real sizes on anything (36 inch waist, etc), the staff know what a Medium or Large is in each of their products. IE, a large in one is actually a medium in another. Super shop , well worth a visit. They are best gentleman's outfitters in Livwrpool
