UK Swarovski dealer recommendations? (1 Viewer)

Can I ask what UK dealer you recommend for buying Swarovski kit? Thanks in advance :t:

I`ve bought several bits of Swarovski kit from Mcleods, Tain, Rosshire. Competitive prices and good service. They have a (fairly basic) website, which lists their stock (including used ) with prices. I`ve ordered by telephone and had next day delivery and returns have been no problem. A bit far for me to travel, but perhaps would be more accessible from where you are?

Down here in Suffolk I would recommend Viking Optical, who supply the RSPB shops.

They have a shop in Edinburgh: 101 Rose Street
Edinburgh Scotland EH2 3DT

Viking are a big dealer for Swarovski so they have pretty close links - When the BTX binoviewer was launched in the UK it came only to RSPB Minsmere and Cley Spy.

Another vote for Viking - very knowledgeable and they had pretty much everything in stock :t:

Roger down at South West Optics is top man to deal with and a genuine Birding enthusiast.

Last time I was down there he was lending a customer a mint Swarovski ATS 65 HD to use whilst his Leica scope was in for repair !

Can't recommend highly enough.

Agree, he's a top bloke. But I think his name is Steve Rogers?

Cheers

I use Lakeside Optics at Chew Valley Lake in Somerset - obviously a long way down the country, BUT, they are on the edge of one of the best birding lakes in Britain, so you get to try out the kit in a real environment.

Great service form them over the years and recommend them very highly
