The shopping Centre itself is decent, although it was better when the M&S outlet was there…read more Be careful with parking there. I'm native to Edinburgh but don't live there anymore. I had a rental car and was charged for a parking fine because I had parked there more than two hours apparently. I didn't know there was a limit and because it was a rental car, they added on their own charge. I know that private parking fines are not enforceable in Scotland but my beef was really with the rental company. Suffice to say that this would put me off going there again though.

A busy little spot that I think goes under appreciated in the community…read more Seriously, a TK Maxx, Poundland, Sainsburys, M&S Outlet and a KFC? It's basically all my dream stores. Clearly I'm not hard to impress. In all honesty though, it's hugely convenient for the type of shopping I do. Right off the main road so it's easily accessible, shops in close proximity and ample parking- it's great! I guess the only annoying thing is the narrow roads, particularly when it's busy it can be a pain to navigate. Overall, the business is not enough to deter me. Five stars!

The Overgate is the larger of the two main shopping centres in Dundee, with the other being the…read moreWellgate across town. It offers some of the city's larger shops, hosting the likes of Debenhams, Primark, New Look and Topshop. Half of the mall is really bright and airy as there are windows running down the entire wall. It kinda reminded me of an airport (but nicer, of course). There is parking but we didn't use it. From what I've heard it is pretty expensive. We used Gellatly Street which was £8 for 24 hours. Considering the Overgate charges something similar to this for 5 hours and closes overnight, it looks like we made the right call to go somewhere else. The public toilets in the mall are clean and well serviced so we're all good there. I would definitely recommend coming here instead of the Wellgate - the Wellgate is a horrible, dark dungeon.

Like the Wellgate centre that I recently reviewed, the Overgate in Dundee has the famous big name…read moreshops, the Santas grotto at Christmas and the places to eat and drink but what this shopping centre lacks is the atmosphere of the Wellgate. It may be because it is a brand new shopping centre and therefore lacks some of what makes the Wellgate so good but whatever it is there is just something missing from the whole experience of shopping here. That said it does have some wonderful shops such as Sports world, Gap and baby Gap, The Gadget shop, Debenhams and the amazing Lush shop which sells all the wild and wacky soaps and lotions and potions you could imagine. You can smell the wondeful scents coming from the Lush store throughout the building and they are rivalled only by the aroma from the Starbucks coffee shop on the same floor. If you are in Dundee then you must visit here as well as the Wellgate, they both have something different to offer.

Feels hard to get around the place without always looking to make sure I don't get hit by a car. The stores are also ones I never or wouldn't normally shop at. The best place here I think is the Pet store. You can go in and browse at the fish and bunnies and such. There's also a Sansburys but I find them to be to expensive as well. Check the place out though before judging it to harshly from Yelp reviews. I just don't care for it to much .

Although whenever I've visited the car park has been very quiet also meaning the shops are quiet too I hate it when it's busy! There are six shops in the retail park, Acorn Pet Centre, Argos Extra, Au Natural, Dreams, Homebase and Peacocks giving a good selection of premises to visit. There is a small amount of cover along the pedestrian walkway to protect visitors from the elements, although it's more of a nudge in the direction of rain cover than actual real cover.

This is a retail park located close to the market in lanark. The car park is a really good size and…read morethere is always plenty of parking even on a Saturday. The parking is free. The shops inclued Watt Brothers selling a variety of home goods and clothes, Au Naturale that has a up to 70% off sale on at the moment, it sells a range of cushions, curtains, some furniture such as bar stool, Peacocks that sells clothes for all the family, Dreams that has a range of beds. Homebase which is quite a good size selling diy and plants etc. Halfords selling car parts etc. Argos a catalogue shop and last but not least the acorn pet shops which only had a couple of rabits in and some hamsters, fish and birds. The only thing about this retail park is that it is quite high up so it can be quite cold and the weather can change quickly.

This particularly large Primark opened last December and honestly, I can't get enough of it! Every…read moretime I go to Fort Kinnaird, this place is usually my first stop so that I can avoid the afternoon chaos later on. The layout is much better than its sister store on Princes Street and since it is all on one level, getting around is pretty easy as you can see everything from when you enter and you won't have to negotiate any of those dreaded escalators that make you go ALL the way round to the other side of the sales floor to get to the next one. The men's department is an adequate size and is conveniently located near the front of the store. The only downside to this, is that you will have to walk all the way to the back of the shop if you want to try something on as that is where the fitting rooms are located. Speaking of the fitting rooms, they are modern, bright and have never been subjected to horrific queues when I've visited. (Unlike the shambolic Princes Street store.) One thing that annoys me is the checkouts. They are also at the back, on either side (one set in lingerie and the other in homewares) and usually have slow moving long queues. This is not ideal when all you are buying is a t shirt, a pair of jeans and some sweets. Another thing that bugs me is the till staff. I know it must be horrible working 9-5 in Primark under the harsh fluorescent lighting and with demanding customers but a smile would be appreciated. It could be stocked a bit better and they should assign more workers to the checkouts to cut down queues but other than that, this store provides a less chaotic experience to the city centre store and is much better in many ways.

So this is a fairly small store with everything all on one level but stocks everything you need,…read morefrom clothes, homeware, lingerie, to kids and mens clothing too, the staff are lovely and helpful and all do a great job. There is only one complaint however in that you have to leave your basket if you want to try anything on which makes things a bit of a hassle.

Truth be told, Livingston Designer Outlet is a bit of a way from Glasgow. It takes about an hour to…read moreget there on the M8 - but seriously, it's worth it! With more than 90 stores (yup, count them) there's pretty much something for everyone. As well as a huge number of shoe shops - you'll also find designer names, a Next Outlet store, cookware stores, homeware stores, jewelry stores and stationary stores. You'll also find a good selection of coffee shops and restaurants, sure to keep you fueled up through your shopping trip. There are some really great bargains on offer - whether you're looking for a Versace Dress for £300 or an M&S dress for £3. Although some Designer Outlet shopping centres are open air - you can rest assure that this one is securely inside. Which is very good, seeing as it's in Scotland and all! If you're planning a Christmas shopping trip, or are just feeling a little indulgent, then I thoroughly recommend a trip to Livingston Designer Outlet. There's a huge carpark which is free - so you can shop for hours without having to worry about when your ticket runs out. And believe me, you will shop for hours.

I'd like to visit here, but they're not dog friendly. It's a shame as most new shopping centres…read moreare, in fact the St James centre encourage dogs, providing food and water.

And you'd be right, although you shouldn't let that put you off as it houses some useful high street names. The main reason I come here is to go to Sainsbury's, as it's the biggest supermarket anywhere near to the city centre that you can get to by public transport easily. But aside from that, there's also a handful of banks, travel agents, clothes shops like New Look and Peacocks, as well as random one-off shops like GimmeGizmo and Paperbox. You'll never find anything designer or massively upmarket in here, but it's good for all the day-to-day boring things that nobody likes shopping for but everybody needs. There's also free parking, which is another definite bonus.

It's been about 10 years since anyone's posted anything here, so I thought I'd update anyone…read morereading this. The building's still ugly on the outside, but the actual shopping centre has had a massive overhaul post-2016. A new logo and orange branding works really well I think, and the orange neon strips around the sides of the building add some actual style to it, however it's still a total architectural freak. There's now McDonald's and Costa drive-through locations in the car park, and a huge 24 hour gym upstairs. Sainsbury's is as big and strong as ever, although they've closed the cafe recently, apparently Starbucks or some gourmet burger section coming? Aldi is here, very quickly replacing BHS after they went belly-up, and a Poundland, which I actually rate, especially for soft drinks and batteries. Public transport has improved massively, making it kind of a transport hub for the south of the city, with city centre links pretty much every 2 minutes, and east and westbound services a plenty. Borders links are regular as well. There are a lot more local offerings inside, with an excellent local bike shop, and small stands in the main hall with rotating regularly. It's still not upmarket by any means, but with banks, 3 supermarkets, boots, new look, WHSmith (how are they still going as a company?) waterstones, cex, mcdonalds, costa, greggs, subway, the entertainer toy shop, tresspass, penty of carrier stores and a couple of shoe shops, the variety and actual quality of the stores has gone way up. It's also just super handy as they've added stuff like a water bottle refill station with some of the best water you can get in public (i know it's weird but trust me) and some pretty nice toilets (which are open 24 hours), a passport photo booth, postbox and good bicycle parking, they've seriously cleaned up their act in the last 10 years. Also yeah, the whole thing is open 24 hours a day because of the gym, so you can just wander in at 2am and sit in the tables in the hall and eat a sandwich or something. There's some serious plans to add hotels and a cinema to the site, in addition to potential tram links and better walking/cycling access. The future is looking up for cameron toll, and this review is a really strange contrast to the ones from a few years back. This isn't really something you see with shopping malls, but apparently it's doing really well these days, and definitely worth a visit if you're in the south of Edinburgh. Whether for essentials for the house, grabbing lunch, getting your eyes checked at specsavers, buying a new phone or computer, or just nipping in to go to the toilet and steal the ice-cold water from the dispenser, it's a solid spot and improved by an order of magnitude since the start of the decade.
