Some times being a tourist has its advantages - being In a new place, experiencing new things, and generally just being impressed by everything.\n\nThen it has it's disadvantages - places like this. I'm not a tourist in Edinburgh, but if I was, I would avoid this place like the plauge. The reason? Tartan. \nTacky Tartan. \nTacky, Terrible Tartan.\n\nThis place is just full of junk that the owner must think tourists the world over are gagging for  - can never have enough tartan shite.\n\nOther than the amount of sheer rubbish available to by at prices that would make Nessie faint, the Scotland Shop also arranges tours to various other places in Scotland (think the Highlands) which seems like a good deal if you really cant be bothered to do it yourself.\n\nNot being a tourist, I feel I need to here from someone who is on this place - but as for everybody else. Avoid.
