Spex Pistols: The Dundee shop where even rock stars come to pick up style tips


Possibly the coolest shop of its kind in Scotland, it’s not all about glasses here.

As well as selling designer, vintage and classic spectacles and sunglasses, it also doubles up as an intimate gig venue.

Johnny Marr (The Smiths) is among its past customers.
