Hello everyone,

Don’t forget to sign up to our newsletter below for musings and ramblings from bookshop life, as well as reading about some exceptional books.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
We are so lucky to have exclusive signed copies of this incredible book.
From the creators of ‘The Lost Words’ this book has been seven years in the making. In the style of a traditional field guide Macfarlane tells us of “the great thinning of the skies” and Morris shows us the beauty and diversity of our birdlife. This edition comes with its own limited edition print.
A magnificent and important book.
HIDDEN SCOTLAND
Are you looking for travel inspiration in Scotland this year?
The makers, the creatives, the stories, the experiences and the concealed corners are all featured in this brilliant magazine that showcase the best that Scotland has to offer.
Spring/Summer 2026 is now available.
There is no better way to support us than visiting the bookshop in person or getting in touch via phone or email for collection in Biggar.
If you would like to support us online please use our partner Bookshop.org. They have created an online platform that helps independent bookshops across the country by offering an alternative way to shop online while being conscious of a bricks and mortar business. Browse their titles below.
"I have never been in a more perfectly designed bookshop, with a lovely integration of the books themselves and various bold and charming artworks. The books are everywhere, somehow all folded into an incredibly small place, like a ship’s cabin. I did an event there recently and by the end was trying to work out how I could relocate my family to Biggar. It was like being given a brief glimpse of an ideal place and then being cruelly chucked back into London.’
Simon Winder, author of Lotharingia
Looking for inspiration?
Browse or order
We love to talk about books, recommend books and appreciate books with anyone interested so don’t hesitate to ask. You will find some of our recommended titles here and many, many more in the shop as well as a very efficient (usually next-day) ordering service.
Bricks and Mortar
We are a proudly bricks-and-mortar high street shop. We believe independent bookshops are a special place to visit and so much of the pleasure of reading is going into a bookshop, having a browse, chatting about exceptional (or not!) books and experiencing the soul and atmosphere of reading.
Events
We work closely with the local community, schools and the library to curate a wide range of interesting and inspiring sessions. We are currently organising a small programme of events for autumn 2025 so be the first to hear about these by signing up to our newsletter, or check out what is coming up soon on the events page.
Dog friendly
Watch out for sunbathing dogs as you come in! We are very dog friendly, we just ask that they not be too wet
The best is yet to come!
Browse our pre-orders page or check out past newsletters to find your next book.
There are thousands of books published every year and we have listed just a few of our favourites to come. If it has been announced then we can order it for you, just get in touch.
Something for everyone
We cover a huge range of sections within the bookshop and hope that you will find a safe and welcoming space in which to browse and discover for all ages.
The beautiful artwork you see is by the talented Fiona Gibson, author, artist and friend of the bookshop.
