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.

Now that I have found it I like the drive and enjoy the shopping more. There are not masses of shops at this outlet centre, but I do like the Nike and Addidas shops as well as the Paper Mill and the Childrens designer clothes shop (sorry the name escapes me). For a long time I only used to make this a very short visit as the cafe was abismal however BB's now has a coffee shop and very nice it is too so we tend to head out here for coffee or lunch time and spend a wee while browsing around. The shops are a but different to Stirling itself however if I was really looking for an outlet park I would head to livingston.

Sterling mills Tillicoultry is a lovely little outlet village not far from Stirling itself. Lots of…read morelittle shops, however it seems to have been hit hard by the Livingston expansion and most probably that it isn't the easiest of places to find. The outlet shops that can be found here are Nike (which we have found to be better than the smaller Livingston store), Adidas (lots of bargains to be found at this store!), The Works, Zavvi, The Paper Mill and lots of mens stores including Lee and Wrangler. We have also registered online for a card which gives you money off in a lot of the stores there. Parking is very good, with disabled and child spaces available. There is also a little coffee shop, which we feel is overpriced, most probably as it's the only one there and has a monopoly over the place! Most months of the year they have a little market where you can buy locally produced bread and cakes, and other food products. You could find something yummy to eat on the slightly long drive home. If you are into sports clothing, even walking clothing then Sterling Mills is well worth a visit.

Unlike the other two shopping centres I have already reviewed in Dundee this one does not have the…read morebig named stores, it instead has a more stall like feel to it with the shops being open planned and mainly local traders. There are bargains to be had in here and it has a wonderful sweet shop but there are a lot of awful stalls selling real rubbish so you have to browse through a lot of tat to find the good deals. This centre has a nice caffe however and also a hairdresser but the hairdresser is a bit expensive so best missed out. If you are shopping in Dundee you really should take a look around here even though there are better places in the city to shop.

There is a decent mix of ships from Next to Schuh to Boots and many many more. There is mobile shops, coffee shops and plenty of places to eat such as TGI's, Pizza Express, Nandos, etc. The one age old gripe about the Fort is it is not under cover. 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. There is plenty of parking and at the very least you can get to go to Millie's and buy cookies...... Cookie availability is always a plus point.

But we ended up pulling in for breakfast and a browse, and we walked out grinning. There's both a coffee bar and a sit-down cafe; we opted for the cafe, which was perfectly fine for a quick bite before wandering the shops. But the real fun was exploring the place itself. House of Bruar is part country store, part upscale gift shop, part museum of Things You Didn't Know You Needed. You can find everything from cashmere to kitchen tools, with price points ranging from impulse-buy to aspirational. We mostly window-shopped, but it was genuinely enjoyable - lots to look at, and beautifully presented. We did, however, make sure to raid the food section. They have an impressive selection of snacks, condiments, sweets, and treats, and picking out a handful of goodies to nibble on for the rest of our road trip was one of the highlights of the stop. In the end, the skeptic duo had to admit: this recommendation was a good one. If you're passing through, House of Bruar is well worth a visit - even if you just come for breakfast and a wander.
