Port Macquarie-Hastings library’s absentee manager has become a Highland wanderer and while we couldn’t get him to visit any libraries (something about him being on holidays?) he did visit Leakey’s Secondhand Bookshop in Inverness – It is advertised to be Scotland’s largest secondhand book shop, and is situated in an old church building in Inverness. The history of the church goes back to the time of Queen Anne. There’s a large wood stove in the shop (something you don’t expect to see in the middle of 100,000 books), which they keep going all winter (You would definitely need this in Inverness) – and if they ever run out of wood they can start disposing of superfluous stock!
