One of the best bloody bookshops I’ve ever visited! This shop offers a wide selection and variety of old books, rare prints, historical maps, poetry books, shooting & fishing books and much more! To me, I’ve always found comfort in bookshops with their cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I knew I had to pick up a couple of books here for a reasonable price. You could lose your mind here, browsing for hours without knowing what time it is.
There's a charming allure to a used book shop. Smells like a billion dusty pages of forgotten information. A log fire warms the great hall, with books from floor to ceiling. This shop wouldn't look out of place on the set of harry potter. I'd visit this place even if I wasn't looking for a book. Could do with a seat and a coffee machine. A must see for anyone into alternative locations.
I only had money enough to buy a post card the day I went there 11/12/2024, but I can say it was, by far, one of the most magical places I've been in my life. Maybe because I love books and maps, old buildings and history, but, yeah. Loved the place and I really want to come back there with money this time so that I can bye books, maps and old prints hehe
This wonderful bookshop seems to have come out of a Victorian novel. labyrinths of shelves full of used books, loved by generations of other readers and ended up here to embellish this magical environment. My only regret is that I didn't happen to be there in the winter when the large cast iron wood stove has to heat the bookcase crackling hot. ...ah I was forgetting, all this wonder is located inside an ancient Presbyterian church now used as a shop. Perhaps the most characteristic and vivid memory of Inverness.
A roaring fireplace, spiral staircase, antique prints!nnHappily spent a few hours in Leakys - such a diversity of books on offer and well organised! Loads of historical kids book, excellent fiction! Floor to ceiling across two large floors absolutely stacked with books + historical maps and loads of antique prints.
