the shops are on three main (pedestrian precincts) streets. argyle st, sauchiehall st, buchanan st.
behind argyle st is the st enochs centre (has a debenhams) and at the top of buchanan st is buchanan galleries (has john lewis) both of these centres have a variety of high st stores
buchanan st has frasers & posh designer shops and also has princes square which has lots of designer + posh shops.
out of town is braehead shopping centre lots of shops + has an ikea next to it.

I'd say the best without a doubt is Braehead, if you google it you will find the website. It has loads of great shops all under one roof!0

If you're staying in Gretna (which is a fair trek from Glasgow) why not go to the Gretna Outlet Village?
I've heard people who have been say it's great!
Scottish tourist board have awarded it a 5 star attraction status.Member of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19
Balance 19th April '07 = minus £27,640
Balance 1st November '09 = mortgage paid off with £1903 left over. Title deeds are now ours.0 -
