Our History, Our Heritage

From the Oxford English Dictionary, ‘heritage’ is a ‘special or individual possession’ and for the 50+ years of John Macintyre & Son’s existence, this is how the business has been treated; as a family member, with love, care, and consideration.

1965…WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

The year is 1965 and a small pawn broker’s shop called “John Macintyre” opens in Braehead Street in the Gorbals area of Glasgow.

BIGGER & BETTER

As the 20th century draws to a close Grant has more ambitious plans, he has a vision. Our biggest hurdle was the queue! So in 1999 we separated diamonds and watches over two floors and expanded our team of staff to alleviate the infamous queue. John Macintyre & Son became Scotland’s largest jewellery store with over 6,000 square feet of diamonds, gold, silver and watches galore. The expansion continues today with over 20 designer brands.
