Inside Dubarry’s First Scottish Store: Where Country Meets City
Edinburgh shoppers now have another compelling reason to stroll George Street: Dubarry, the storied Irish heritage brand, has opened its first Scottish boutique at 54 George Street, within the historic Assembly Rooms building. The move marks a milestone — bringing Dubarry north of the border for the first time and planting a flag for its country-meets-city aesthetic in Scotland.
A Store That Feels Like Countryside in the City
From the moment you step inside, the store evokes a refined, rural retreat. Rich wooden panelling lines the walls, antique furniture pieces anchor corners, and vintage rugs soften underfoot — all of it playing host to Dubarry’s carefully curated offering of boots, outerwear, and accessories. That interplay between heritage craftsmanship and a cosy, lived-in feel is exactly what Dubarry does best.
Located within the Assembly Rooms, the store’s grandeur fits seamlessly into Edinburgh’s elegant George Street, a destination now enjoying a retail resurgence with premium names like Monica Vinader, Phase Eight, and Rodd & Gunn calling it home. Dubarry’s arrival adds weight to that revival, giving city shoppers a domestic base for a brand long admired by country lovers.
What’s Inside: Boots, Country Cool & More
The new boutique carries Dubarry’s full core range: its signature country boots, deck shoes, and outdoor clothing. But the offering extends well beyond footwear — expect must-have knits, classic countrywear coats and jackets, leather goods, belts, socks, headwear, scarves, and more.
A particularly exciting addition (at least in our books) is the equestrian range. While we may not be jockeys, we’re already plotting how to channel Rivals 2 vibes with Connemara boots in hand. Dubarry Brand Manager Charlotte Strange confirmed that the show’s costume team tapped classic pieces from the Dubarry collection to evoke 1980s countryside aesthetic — a perfect nod to the brand’s timeless appeal.
Why It Works in Scotland
Dubarry has always had strong ties with outdoor life — sailing, country pursuits, and rugged landscapes — and those sensibilities align naturally with Scotland’s terrain. The brand’s iconic Galway Country Boot, and innovations like its GORE-TEX® linings (first deployed in its sailing boots), speak to a balance of heritage and performance.
By giving Edinburgh its own physical presence, Dubarry isn’t just tapping a new market — it’s making a statement of intent. The store acts as a hub for local fans, a destination for visitors, and a showcase for what the brand can offer in a context that feels inherently Scottish.
