Store description

Leakey's Bookshop was established in 1979 and has been housed for the last 30 years in the old Gaelic Church (1793). It is Scotland's largest secondhand bookshop with 100,000 selected volumes. We have been actively buying books throughout the Highlands for over 45 years, buying that has been immensely exciting and fruitful. The wood-burning fire that heats the shop has filled many customers with amazement and some with dread. If you come to Inverness, Leakey's will be one of the highlights of your visit.
