Leakey’s second-hand bookshop is Scotland’s largest collection of old, rare and second-hand books and maps. It has a café on the 2nd floor, and is heated by this huge wood stove. [address: Greyfriar’s Hall Church St, Inverness, UK – Scotland IV1 1EY]

My sister bought a few books and a 100+ year old map for herself. I bought a book (Castleneau by G.P.R James, Esq) that was published in 1850. Inside was a bookmark cut from a newspaper in 1935. I love used books anyway, but to open it up and read the names of previous owners with dates going back to 1855 is so far off the way-cool scale that I can’t even rate it.
