Hi I can answer for some areas of Scotland :-) . These are the ones i visit regularly if I'm in the area, the ones I can remember the names of anyway lol

edinburgh:
the cloth shop, good selection of fabrics and notions, plus curtain dept downstairs.

another shop 200 ish yards away from the cloth shop, used to be Mandors but I'll have to look up its new name. Has a small but nice selection of cottons, plus other fabrics.

Linlithgow: excellent quilt-only shop with wonderful selection of cottons and batics. Very knowledgeable staff.

Perth: Peacock & Tortoise or something similar, excellent quilt-only shop carrying many notions I haven't seen elsewhere. Again great staff.

Glasgow: Mandors, general fabric store. Haven't been in the Glasgow branch but did like the Edinburgh branch, where they had a very good selection cottons.

Galasheils (Scottish borders): you could spend all day here!!!!! Warehouse sized, quilt-only, Ultra-massive selection, and is where I'm gonna go when I decide to do a bargello, cos I think it's the only place I could select every fabric at once....
(also small but nice shop in Melrose 5 miles away.)

Oban: west coast highlands, small but excellent shop, the one that was my quilting downfall lol. Bought my first cottons here.....

Stirling: Pembertons, small selection of cottons, loads of machines, threads and notions and it's where I get my machines serviced.

Kirkcaldy: Rejects department store, large selection of cottons plus many other crafting materials. Don't let the name fool you tho .

Also most of the major cities have a department store called John Lewis. Their haberdashery depts are usually comprehensive, good quality, but expensive.

Now this is probably more info than you wanted, and probably says something about me and what I do when I'm out and about

Cheers, K
