Lighthouse Books

We absolutely loved this place. It’s beautifully organized, thoughtfully curated, and has such a strong political voice. It feels so important to support spaces like this today. Every detail is clearly intentional, from the flags and pins to the quotes from books around the store, just incredible. The bookseller was so kind and gave us amazing recommendations. You can really tell she pays close attention to every little detail and truly cares about the experience. Hands down the best bookstore we visited in Edinburgh 📚😍

Hidden little gem, quite a small but very important book shop, not only a book shop but very dedicated book shop too. I loved this place as it was a chilled place and books easy to find, had a good selection. Lady serving as well was lovely, please do visit this bookshop.

A brilliant bookstore! Varied selection of books and on the day I visited, they had a book sale for new books going for £1/£2 each! A steal. I’ll always visit this place whenever I’m in Edinburgh

Lighthouse Books is a cozy, independent bookstore with a thoughtful selection of diverse and inclusive reads. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely helpful and passionate about books. It’s the perfect spot to discover new voices from around the world and enjoy a peaceful break in the heart of the city. A must-visit for any book lover!

Highly highly recommend this book shop. We stayed close to here and stumbled across it by mistake! What a fab find and so inclusive, with an amazingly curated selection of books. Lovely staff who were very informative & kind. Cannot recommend more and would definitely come back! ❤️
