A LUXURY fashion brand is set to open the doors to its first Scottish shop on Friday.
The Gucci store, which will open on one of the country’s most prestigious shopping streets, is the Italian fashion giant’s only UK standalone retail offering outside London.
The store will open on Multrees Walk in Edinburgh, joining other luxury fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors and Burberry.

Whilst the store is officially open to the public from Friday at 10am, a formal launch is set to take place next week.
According to The Herald, the company behind the retail unit also owns the unit which houses Uniqlo on Princes Street.
The Japanese fashion retailer opened its first Scottish store in April, with plans to open a second in Glasgow in the coming months.
The Gucci store will be open from 10am to 6pm.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
