The Edinburgh Bookshop

Tucked up in the bijou suburb of Bruntsfield, The Edinburgh Bookshop has carved a niche for itself on the capital's literary scene as a stand-out children's bookshop (though adults are well-catered for as well). Keep an eye out for regular author events and book groups, stocks of signed copies and two dedicated story time sessions for under-5s, every Thursday and Friday morning from 9.30-10am.
