Shopping in Scotland

Although golf will clearly be the focus of your trip, there will probably be a need to do a little shopping. There are the folks back home who would be pleased with a gift from Scotland other than a tin of Scottish Shortbread that you could buy in the airport as you return. There also might be some interesting items that you or that a non-golfing member of your traveling party might be interested in.

Scotland offers a wide variety of shopping opportunities, from the tourist kitsch that can be found in all the tour bus stops to beautifully crafted artistic objects that carry the imprint of Scotland's rich celtic heritage.
