Hi all 👋🏻
With this post in our lovely #community this Friday for the #MarketFriday by @dswigle - Denise
I will show you my visit to LEAKEY’S BOOKSHOP in Inverness. 📚
‼️If you want to know more about #MarketFriday’s have a look at the community about it: Market Friday community! run by the lovely @dswigle and her last post: “Market Friday - Silence is Golden” where you find also the rules what to post if you want to join us. Do join in, it is fun 🤩
My 16 photographs are all taken with my #iPhone 🤓 on 25 February 2023 📱last weekend ~ in Inverness UK 🇬🇧 the additional ones I will state separately.
Let’s talk first a little bit about this BOOKSHOP.
More information you find in the following website:
LEAKEY’S bookshop!
They also have a Facebook page : You find here!
It’s such a cool place. 📚 It’s rather famous I would say. It’s SCOTLANDS biggest #secondhand bookshop. Also it’s #location is unique, 🤓 ok ok not location but where IN it is located:
The bookshop is in a #CHURCH.
At the time I visited, I will show you later on, there was scaffolding all around it on the outside. So a pretty picture I can’t show you. 🫣
But… for this reason I show you a few screenshots I took of their #socialmedia page, to show you what a stunning place it is without scaffolding. (All credit goes to them for these 2 captures)

How the inside space looked like before the bookshop moved in:

On Google maps we find it’s location at the yellow arrow in this screenshot:
Zooming in closer see the yellow star ⭐️:
The address: Church Street in Inverness
📚IF YOU ARE IN THIS AREA one day, HAVE A LOOK. IT’S SUCH A COOL PLACE 😎
Let’s have a look inside now 😎😊📚📚
We see books 📕 everywhere…
The space… they kept a lot of the #original #features.
Looking in a few “walking books”… sometimes you do find some hidden treasures in them. 🥰 I love that about old books 📚
More books, these ones are about the HIGHLANDS, the area I live in since January.
Looking into the space again. We see how they divided the space. There are 2 floors now.
Peeking in a small corridor. 📚📕
Looking down from upstairs… 😎🤓📚
I do like the old features of the church.
They also sell prints here… 🤓
Another angle of the bookshop 📚
Walking outside… here you can see the scaffolding all around the outside. It would have been cool to capture this building without it. Maybe next time when I visit again.
One more view…
I love second hand book shops 📚😎 one can find great books.
This time I didn’t find what I was looking for.
But… I did buy this week a second hand book on-line, what arrived yesterday.
The cover…
What I paid for this second hand book 📖 it’s a nice price, even with the shipping cost 🤓
Inside of this book ~ a random page.
