Located next to the 24hr Robroyston Adsa there is a McDonalds, Watt Brothers, B+M, Homebase, costa coffe and more recently a poundworld. Some of the shops are open till 8pm but each store is worthing checking individually. With ample parking and regular bus service its a no bad wee place if you live in the area however its not somewhere I would go out of my way to go if not from the area.

It's a lovely stop along the outdoor Buchanan Street pedestrian mall. With four levels, lots of retail, a few restaurants, and one great chocolatier, Princes Square Shopping Centre is worth a few hours of shopping for the ladies on vacation in Glasgow. The facility is just steps from the St. Enoch subway station on the Inner Line if you need a reference to the metro stops.

Not being much of a shopping centre fan generally, I actually really like Princes Square. Granted,…read moreI don't actually do much shopping here but it is nice for a place to take cover on a rainy day and browse the shops. This is an upmarket shopping centre which has more expensive high street shops like Reiss, Ted Baker, Vivienne Westwood and Cos (which I'm still yet to check out!). The centre is certainly decorated to match the crowd it's looking to attract - glitzy, glam and always clean and tidy. I like the size of the centre as well - it's very dinky but still has lots of shops and is easy to navigate. There's also a host of restaurants, bars and cafés but I'll be honest - I've not visited many of them. I ate at Barca probably 4 years ago and also one of the places on the bottom floor but I think that's changed hands. One down side is that if you are dining at a restaurant on the lower level, parents will tend to let their kids run riot in the centre circle which can be a bit of a mood-killer. Princes Square doesn't have a car park due to its location but it is really close to train and subway. If you do really fancy driving, probably St Enoch or Mitchell Street are the closest car parks.

The lure of this place as the largest pound store in the UK was enough to make me dive into here…read more The size doesn't really do the store any favours though as they have much the same variety as other pound shops, a few of which are really closeby on Sauchiehall Street, this store just happens to have alot more of them.

This used to be Littlewoods. Now it is row upon row of items that didn't make the grade. As always, shop carefully, but the sheer size of this store means it will have something you need. It's odd to think that I would go to Sauchiehall Street to get cleaning gear, but now I do.

I love you, Home Bargains!…read more Is there anything you can't get in here? I go in for one or two things and come out with bags full of random stuff. I mainly go here for the 25p Koka noodles (I'm addicted) and the amazing salted tortilla chips they sell. Their home cleaning section is amazing and so much cheaper than normal supermarkets. I bought some toys here for some of my friend's kids too, they always have excellent offers on branded toys. Lots of cheap and weird booze to be found also, always a good stop if you're having folk over or having a party. DVDs, plants, clothes, books, cycling gear... It really is a wee Aladdin's cave. Plus, their card machine is super fast, and you never wait long in a queue, no matter how busy it is. Winner!

I spent £18.00 the other day and came out with two bags of goodies you always find more that you went in for and then wonder how you managed without it.

This is the only shopping centre in Kirkintilloch and to be honest there isn't much in it…read more It has a couple of travel agents, a café, Peacocks and also contains a Tesco that is slightly larger than a Tesco Express but certainly not as big as a usual supermarket. There is often 'carts' selling things like crafts and candles. It's not the cleanest and doesn't have a lot going for it to be perfectly honest. In reality the most used shops face onto the high street anyway and Tesco's also has a separate entrance, so the use of the inside 'shopping centre' is negligble. It is used only by people cutting through from the street to Tesco's up the escalators. Not really worth a vist, or a review

The Regent Shopping Centre in Kirkintilloch is not quite as big as I had hoped! It looks great from…read morethe outside, and the website seems to promise a lot, but I was a little disappointed when I found myself in there. First things first, the Regent Centre does have great parking facilities. There is a car park at ground level, as well as a roof top car park - so there are generally always plenty of places to park. Oh and PS, they're all free! The main attraction really is the Tesco that lives on the first floor of the centre. It's quite a big Tesco, and will fulfill all your general food-related needs. Although you will find a selection of newspapers and magazines - there are no CDs or DVDs in this store. Downstairs is a little more of a disappointment, aside from a Superdrug, a very small Boots and a few card shops, the centre has quite little to offer. There are one or two individual clothes shops, but they didn't excite me very much at all! Overall, the Regent Centre looks nice, and is great for the parking and the Tescos - but perhaps don't expect to get very much else from it!

So when it's cold, it's bloody freezing at times. Especially if there is a high wind. I am not a huge fan of shopping in general , but when I need to, I often go here.

As shopping centres go, you could do worse than the Buchanan Galleries. For one thing, it's not too bad too look at. It blends nicely with the buildings around it and, as is clear to see from the slope on the second (first?) floor it has been carefully designed to intersect with the corner that joins Buchanan Street with Sauchiehall Street. Within the Galleries there's a great range of stores - it's not all just ladies fashion, even if that does make up the majority of what's on offer. There are also gift shops, men's fashion, places selling candles, cosmetics and toiletries, toy shops (Lego!), jewellery, tech, stationary and of course, food and drink. Oh, and there's a John Lewis. It might not be the most exciting, most unique selection on offer in Glasgow, but sometimes all you're shopping for is a basic pair of jeans, a birthday card and a pretzel to keep you going. In which case, this is the place to come.
