Local tip
This shop has been here for almost 30 years and has an extensive range of local history and antiquarian books.
Great for quirky, old hardbacks...the place to go if you want to create an attractive bookshelf. No trashy romance novels in sight!
Established over 34 years ago, The Old Town Bookshop stocks a vast range of books and prints from across more than a couple of centuries. Particularly noteworthy are the prints Edinburgh and Scottish views across the centuries, as well as their maps of Scotland and the world. Prints, books, photographs and artwork are all found in abundance in the Old Book Shop, and can also be sold there with the advantage that they do not charge the 20 per cent commission as witnessed at other antiques and auction houses.
