If I could have given zero stars I would…read more Extremely disgusted at the pricing practices at Gretna Green Outlet: My son was looking to purchase a kilt which was perfectly sized and exactly the Tartan he wanted. Tried it on and it was a perfect fit. Label stated: Waist 34" Hips 44" Length 24" £360 Flashes included He was then told by the lady in the "Big Wee Shop" that that was not the price he would pay as it would have to be made to measure and that particular kilt would be in the region of £900!! Clearly a method of "upselling" to a higher price and lower quality. Underhanded? I think so.

Stopped off here as a halfway point to meet some friends. You think outlets, loads of stores. Well,…read morethis wasn't to impressive. They did have some stores worth checking out but majority didn't even get a second glance. Also loads of empty store fronts which did make it feel sparse. I guess If there's a certain store that you so like and it's available, you'll come.

I like Sainsburys but this one is a bit limited. Space in the town was obviously at a premium when…read morethey built this Sainsburys, the selection in here is somewhat depleted. The car park is terrible - it's really difficult to park here at peak times (i.e Friday evenings/weekends) and the car park dosen't seem to be very well monitored. All this said however, depsite them not having the choice of the bigger stores, you can get some more unusual products here such as specialist olives, cheeses and breads. It's the upper end of shopping!

Not a bad smaller-size shopping centre but very handy if it's raining as it was recently when I was…read morein Dumfries!! It made a useful place to shop and browse without getting soaked. There are several good branches of 'high street' stores in there, like HMV, and some places to have a cup of tea and a snack as well. It's next to the main multi-story car park - again ideal if it's wet!

Theres a pretty good next shop, a surprisingly good poundland (seriously), and a good HMV. Obviously theres a bit more than that, but if you've been to shopping centres in Ayr, and Carlisle and places like it, then the Loreburne centre falls short by quite a bit. You'll need to avoid the Big Issue sellers on your way in as well, none of whom are homeless by the way.

This is the strangest shop. Like time travel. It is stuffed with several decades worth of very…read moreinteresting clothing and objects. If I were a younger person I would cobble together the best outfits in the world from this place. Pith helmets, belts made of gun cartridges, velvet pantaloons, it's all here. This is where anyone with a sense of style and the dramatic should shop. The owner is an absolutely lovely guy. Must see.

Strawberry Fields is a tiny but fabulous vintage store with -- literally -- a mountain of great…read morefinds inside. This shop is owned by a sweet and lovely man who looks like he stepped right out of 1960... he'll help you to find anything you're after, and direct you around the haphazard piles and racks that are scattered everywhere. Strawberry Fields is a treasure-trove -- there is NO organisation whatsoever and you have to literally dig through everything to find what you're after. This isn't everyone's cup of tea but I LOVE it and relish the chance to find something genuinely unique. The prices are tiny too. Absolutely awesome, the best thing about Carlisle!

Situated in the centre of Workington with parking nearby, this is smaller than most Marks and…read moreSpencers branches and so struggles to deliver. It's got all the usual departments - women's clothing, men's clothing, children's clothing, food and gifts. Unfortunately the choice is really limited here, so they only stock some of the more traditional clothing lines rather than the more modern stuff. The food selection is quite good though and is comparable to some of the bigger stores. And you can order whatever you want into the store for pick-up so it may be worth looking on the internet before you go!

By far the best clothing shop in the local area. There is a really good selection of makes…read more This is in the centre of Workington, and the only other well know shop here is Marks and Spencers. So if you want to look trendy, this is the place to go. They have all the well known brands - Ted Baker, Sonnetti, Oasis, O'Neil etc. It's quite a small space (compared to other toewn centre Debenhams) but they have fitted alot in. We live in Manchester and went in here when we were in the area - my partner found some branded tops which he couldn't find at home - very impressive. The store was quiet, but staff were attentive and helpful.

The other half is split between kitchen-ware, toys, and everything which you didn't know that you needed until you see it! Since Woolworths closed it is quite a good bet if nowhere else has it. Like most shops of this type everything is well squashed together. I would guess that things are about 20% off R.R.P., but don't quote me on that. Usefully it is right next to The Gill car-park with pick-up space outside. The easiest way to get there is up Upper Brook St. from Kings St., by the Chippy Bank
