This second-hand bookshop is the largest in Scotland, with books piled high everywhere you look. It’s a real book-lovers’ paradise in a converted church, original stained-glass windows and lots of cosy nooks to lose yourself in. Leakey’s has been in business since 1979 and stocks everything from contemporary paperbacks to vintage prints, books and maps.
