I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the second hand bookshops of Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway. I’ve filled some gaps in my collection, with a couple of surprises too. Can’t wait to go back.

Isn’t this the perfect bookshop? The famous The Bookshop in Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway. Spent a happy hour browsing here.
