"Formerly known as The Hawick Cashmere Company, Hawico has been making fine Scottish cashmere knits since 1874. The shop is about as traditional as it gets—don't expect to find anything trendy here, but rather, classic staples that will last for decades, like cozy sweaters (the women's cowl-necks are especially lovely), men's wool jackets, and more. You'll find these stores around the world—though they're scattered far and wide—but buying it in its beautiful Grassmarket location is a real Edinburgh experience." - Krystin Arneson
