History
McCalls Limited first opened its doors in 1887 on Upper Kirkgate, Aberdeen, founded by Daniel McCall, an international auctioneer, and his wife Annie, a market trader with a stall in Aberdeen's Castlegate. The business began with a focus on second-hand goods, particularly clothing. As fashions changed and imported garments became more common, demand for second-hand clothing declined, and the business turned its focus toward Highlandwear. In 1985, McCalls moved to larger premises on Bridge Street in Aberdeen, occupying five floors dedicated to Highlandwear, Formal Hire, Scottish Giftware, and Antique Jewellery. The company states it has over 135 years of heritage and expertise.
