Visitors come to St Andrews for many reasons. The most obvious is to play golf. Another common reason is to attend the University. And then there's the Cathedral and Castle and the sense of history that seems to pervade every nook and cranny. But one reason that often brings visitors back to St Andrews a second time deserves to become more widely known ... the shopping!

St Andrews is refreshingly free of national outlets and chain stores, save for a few exceptions. Instead, the town centre offers an excellent range of independent, family-run shops and businesses, where you are guaranteed to find a unique range of goods matched by personal service. Shopping in St Andrews is always a rewarding experience.

Please mention visit-standrews.com when contacting any of the businesses listed here. If telephoning from outside the UK, replace the first zero with 44, eg dial 44 1334 instead of 01334.
