Jane Davidson has been dressing the most stylish folk in Edinburgh for years, and this season will be no different. Like Harvey Nichols, this intimate boutique stocks some of the most coveted luxury fashion finds, but without the overwhelming selections common to a larger store. From niche brands to designer classics, Jane Davidson is a must-visit spot when in search of iconic knits. From timeless Diane von Furstenberg sweaters to slouchy roll necks by Peserico, and maroon polo necks with flirty exposed shoulders by Theory, finding that perfect one should be a no-brainer.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.
We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet.
