This portion of our web guide focuses on shopping, or places to shop, in Inverness, Scotland.
Although Inverness is a comparatively small city, with fewer than 60,000 residents, it is the commercial hub to a much wider geographical area. For that reason, the city is home to more shops than might otherwise be expected. There is also the fact that Inverness draws visitors from around the world, so its shopping options are varied and many.
Although shopping might not be what draws visitors to Inverness, tourists generally enjoy holiday shopping, and the city has several craft shops, as well as all of the high street brands. Inverness shops offer a lot of choices, for residents as well as visitors, who will find large multinational outlets as well as small independent owner shops, and everything in between.
The City Centre, including Old Town, is home to a range of independent retailers, while the East Gate Shopping Centre is a modern shopping complex in Inverness City Centre, made up mostly of multinational shops and big-name retailers and brands, and the Victorian Market, built in 1890, has many small, family-operated shops. The main entrance to Victorian Market is through three stone arches on Academy Street, although it can be accessed on each side.
Those who are interested in traditional Highland wear, such as tartan, tweed, kilts, sporrans, or dirks, might want to visit Duncan, Chisholm, and Sons, which can be found on Castle Street.
