Shopping in Aberdeen City and Shire

Union Square is Aberdeen’s newest and largest shopping and leisure destination with over 60 fantastic shops and restaurants, a 10 screen cinema and a large hotel, all under one roof. With several leading fashion stores, you can shop well into the evening at this stylish and modern retail venue.

One of the main advantages of Aberdeen’s shopping scene is that the big shopping centres are all located in the heart of the city centre and within easy walking distance. The very popular Trinity Centre faces out onto Union Street, Aberdeen’s main shopping street, and the Bon Accord Centre and St Nicholas Centre are directly opposite each other.

Away from the leading fashion stores and high street names, Merchant Quarter in the West End boasts a number of great restaurants, bars and unique retailers.

Outside of Aberdeen, there is still plenty of shopping to be done. Throughout the towns and villages of Aberdeenshire there are plenty of excellent shopping opportunities. From gifts, clothing and confectionery to arts and crafts and local produce, there is bound to be something that catches your eye, either as a treat for yourself or as a gift for family or friends.
