Places to shop in Edinburgh, Scotland are the focal point of this portion of our guide.

The main shopping area in Edinburgh, at least for tourists, is in the vicinity of Princes Street in the city centre. In this area are some upmarket shops and independent retail stores. At the east end of Princes Street, St. James Quarter reopened in 2021, after being closed since 2016. This shopping centre can support up to eighty outlets, not including the neighboring John Lewis & Partners store, a high-end department store.

Formerly known as Waverley Shopping Centre, Princes Mall, and Waverley Mall, Waverley Market is in an area bordered by Waverley Bridge, Princes Street, the Balmoral Hotel, and Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station.

In the south-eastern portion of the city, Fort Kinnaird is a large outdoor retail park. Often known as the Fort to locals, it is the second-largest retail park in the United Kingdom. In the Leith area of Edinburgh, Ocean Terminal was built on former industrial docklands on the north side of the city. It hosts between eighty and ninety shops, as well as restaurants, bars, cafes, and a cinema.

Except where a more specific category exists, websites representing retail businesses in Edinburgh will be listed in this category. However, if the product is a building, it would be listed in the Property Sales & Rentals category if such a category exists, and if the product is a service, then it would be more appropriately listed in the Services & Industries category.

Retail businesses using an online-only business model could be listed here as well if based in Edinburgh.

Otherwise, Edinburgh automobile dealerships, antique stores, bookstores, convenience stores, gift shops, grocery stores, furniture stores, jewellery stores, office equipment stores, supermarkets, malls, shopping centres, and other retail outlets would be listed here.
