Books

At The Watermill we are passionate about books. 

The Watermill was voted UK Independent Bookshop of the Year in 2008. We continue to improve on what we were awarded for: a wide choice of books, friendly and knowledgable staff, events and thoughtful displays to entice more people into reading.

We have an extensive range of local interest and Scottish history, as well as fiction, thrillers, young adult fiction, literature, poetry, audio books, travel writing, gardening, cookery, history and much, much more.

In the bookshop, Dorothy, Sally and Ruth are always happy to help you find what you are looking for and to make recommendations. 

We can order books we don't have in stock and they usually arrive the next day.

It is a dream bookshop, a treasure house of riches and surprises ...a haven for lovers of the printed word

Carla Carlisle, The Spectator

We love to start habits early so we've got a whole room bursting with books for children, from picture books for pre-readers to children's classics and factual books, there's plenty for children of all ages to enjoy.

We hold regular weekly reading groups for children.  If you are interested for your child you can call us on 01887 822896.
