The Gently Mad Bookshop 📍 2 Summer Place, EH3 5NR This wonderful Edinburgh bookshop is a slice of times gone by and stocks second-hand books of all kinds. Argonaut Books 📍 15-17 Leith Walk, EH6 8LN One of my fave bookshops in Edinburgh with a small cafe space & window seats from which you can people-watch. Armchair Books 📍 72-74 West Port, EH1 2LE One of my all-time favourite bookshops. As soon as you enter, you’re met with the smell of old books and brown pages. Topping & Company 📍2 Blenheim Pl, EH7 5JH This bookshop is iconic in Edinburgh with rolling ladders, floor-to-ceiling shelves, and complimentary tea while you browse. Yes, free tea!! Golden Hare Books 📍 68 St Stephen St, EH3 5AQ This award-winning Edinburgh bookshop is wonderfully curated and you’ll find lots of new releases and modern classics here. Rare Birds Bookshop 📍13 Raeburn Pl, EH4 1HU This is a bookshop dedicated to books by women, and I wanted pretty much everything I laid my eyes on here. Waterstones Edinburgh 📍 128 Princes St, EH2 4AD This Waterstones is not like the others. It’s a grand, multi-level bookshop with breathtaking views of Edinburgh Castle. An absolute must-visit on a cold, wet afternoon (and there’ll be plenty in Edinburgh!). Lighthouse Bookshop 📍 43-45 West Nicolson St, EH8 9DB A bookshop celebrating diversity with a ‘pay it forward’ pin board where shoppers can leave a handwritten note & some money to buy a book for someone in need. ✅ SAVE for your next trip to Edinburgh and FOLLOW @whatshotblog for more beautiful bookshops and literary travel 💫 © whatshotblog.com #bookstoretreasures #independentbookstores #bookstorefinds edinburgh bookstores #igbookshop #bookshoplover #oldbookshop #localbookstore #bookstore #bookshopping #bookstores #independentbookstore bookstores in Edinburgh #indiebookstore #bookshops things to see in edinburgh #independentbookshop #instabookshop #bookshopsofinstagram what to do in Edinburgh #visitedinburgh #edinburghcity #edinburghhighlights #bookstagramuk #uktravelblogger #literarytravel - @whatshotblog
