Location of first Apple store in Scotland

Perhaps it is easier to do business in the UK (for Apple) than the rest of the European Union "member states", excluding business-friendly (Republic of) Ireland, of course.

So I guess the scene in Trainspotting 2 will be:

(the first)
APPLE STORE
(in Scotland)

If there was a store in NI, I'd have worn a trail there from Dublin by now :o)

Better still, one here in Dublin...

I'm surprised that the major European cities like Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid, etc., have had to wait behind Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield for their stores.

Sorry Gerry, I thought that there was a store in Northern Ireland. Must have been misinformed.

But it still holds my point in a way, being that there is the rest of the UK - not just England which would like an Apple Store.

Kinda annoying.

Hmmm... the openings of the Welsh and Northern Ireland stores must have been very low-key...

Now I'll have to get a ferry over to Scotland :(

Bluddy Apple, hurry up and get us a small apple store!

About time. It's been long overdue.
Shame is not in Edinburgh, :-)

Damn! I was hoping it would be Edinburgh! This is about 70 miles away which is going to suck when I want to buy new mac merchandise.

I'm still excited about it and will go to the opening. I'm sure this was the best decision for apple as the prices in Glasgow for a high street store are considerably cheaper than to get a store in Edinburgh.

It is good to know that Apple has finally wanted to give us an Apple store. All of the rest of the UK have apple stores and we have been left on the sidelines, which is rather unfair. Since our College and University fees are free for those in the European Union (exculding the other counties such as England , Wales and Northern Ireland) there are a large amount of people who study here - and as I have seen first hand, the majority use Macs! The public schools also use a large amount of macs, and are a popular choice of many of the people I meet.

I am happy that Apple have finally realised that there is a market in Scotland for their merchandise. I only wish that they got here sooner - as it is unlike there is a secret national border they need to cross to sell merchandise in Scotland - it's the same country for gods sake! Thier choice not to have an Apple store here for many years has annoyed and infuriated some people living here in Scotland.

Looking forward to fighting through the neds for a sniff at this place. Apple had better get themselves some good security. And I hope that's toughened glass.

About bloody time us Scots get an apple store!

I can't wait to see this store, however I was in Glasgow last weekend and the Pier store was still open to the public and trading......
