As shopping centers go the Thy Gyle is one of the largest in Edinburgh with plenty of free car parking.
The shops available are fairly standard, Boots, Marks and Spencer etc. There are no designer shops, your better looking in George Street in the centre of Edinburgh if thats what your looking for.
The Gyle also has a large food court with the likes of Burger King, Spud u Like etc available.

Getting to the Gyle made easy, with the number 22 bus every ten minutes from the center of town and the new tram way going nearby also.

I'm not a fan of shopping malls at all, but the Gyle isn't actually too bad

It's quite light and airy and it isn't stuffy and cramped like Cameron Toll. There's loads of parking and the travel links are great as you're just off the by-pass road.

If I was to make one criticism, it would be that the selection of shops and restaurants aren't great. For the Gyle to become a truly interesting prospect, it would need to be a bit more like Ocean Terminal and introduce some fancy restaurants and perhaps a cinema. As it currently stands, the Gyle is good for doing your supermarket shopping and going to M and S....not much more!

The Gyle is alright, as shopping centres go, and will often have things that are sold out in the town centre. It's pretty far out and used to be only really for those with cars, but the new separate road for buses nearby makes public transport quite a good option. The best advice I can give about the Gyle, however, is that it must be avoided AT ALL COSTS during the Christmas shopping / January sales period. Seriously, you'll lose your love for humanity forever.

I stay near the Gyle centre and enjoy going shopping there. It does not have as many shops as the town centre but is much more pleasant to shop in. It is open till 8pm most nights and has all the best shops, Next, New Look etc. It is normally relatively quiet so you dont have to contest with the mad rush that is the city centre, especially in the run up to Christmas! There is also a nice food court where you can have a full Chinese or a scone and tea if you like. Also there is lots of parking which is great!

The Gyle shopping centre is in the outskirts of Edinburgh City Centre, so easy access if coming from another area, even Glaagow as you get to it before Edinburgh Citry Centre, hence miss a lot of traffic. There id plenty car park spaces and it if completely free to park, bonus! They have all the typical shops that you would expect in a shopping centre, M&S, Boots, Ladies & Mens clothing e.g. Next Gap etc, Sports shops, Perfume shop, Travel agents, Morrisons, HMV, and of course a food court. Nothing out of the ordinary here but really handy with the parking and the fact that it's out of the hustle and bussle of the City.

The Gyle is a really good place to shop as it has everyting from HMV and Game to clthes shops such as Gap. There are a number of shops so you can always get everything you need plus there is a Morrisons for a food shop. It is always easy to park and find your way around.
