Multrees Walk, Edinburgh
Multrees Walk in Edinburgh is a prime example of modern, luxurious shopping areas. Opened in 2003, it was a major part of the city center's redevelopment and connects Saint Andrew Square with the lively Saint James Quarter. This pedestrian shopping area stands out for its high-end designer stores on both sides, selling everything from fashionable clothes and unique art to other luxury goods.
The centerpiece of this upscale area is Harvey Nichols, a famous department store with its main entrance on Saint Andrew Square and another entry on Multrees Walk. More than just a shopping spot, Multrees Walk has a rich history. Its name comes from Multrees Hill, which used to be a wooded area with a small village, now changed by urban growth and the North Bridge's construction.
The design of Multrees Walk, Harvey Nichols, and the Edinburgh Bus Station is thanks to CDA, a local firm from Edinburgh. The bus station is slightly lower than Multrees Walk and can be reached by escalators from Saint Andrew Square or a ramp from Elder Street. The Saint Andrew Square tram stop in front of Harvey Nichols adds to the convenience.
Multrees Walk is special not just for its design, but also for being the only place in Scotland with Harvey Nichols and Louis Vuitton stores, along with other exclusive fashion brands. This makes its shopping experience unmatched in Scotland. But Multrees Walk is more than just shops; it represents high-end retail, dedication to style, and excellent customer service. It's a destination for those who want a unique, upscale shopping experience, blending luxury with style.
