We have been exploring this library for some time and were amazed by the beauty and quantity of books and maps hidden in every corner! For lovers of reading, cartography and collecting is a place to visit absolutely! Beware of the passage of time because it is easy to get in but difficult to get out!!

Very interesting shop a joy to look around, just don't mention the safety aspect of the wood burner in the centre of the store, its completely safe, but its every ones first comment and I sense it rather irritates the gentleman that works there. Truly amazing space worth a visit.

I read, my daughter reads, my son reads, we read books with my daughter and I normally getting through a book a week so on a five day visit to Scotland this was a must.
We spent over an hour browsing, laid out in sections with each section partially in alphabetical order there is something for everyone.
The books vary from old yellowed paperbacks at £1 or so up to new/as new hardbacks for £25+ and everything in between. There are also sections where I dare’nt look, limited/special editions - way too expensive for me.
A great experience, I came away with a couple, the kids a couple each as well.
Worth looking in even if you are not buying just for the vibe.

Coming from a family full of book lovers - of course we had to make a stop here! This place has been open for 40+ years and smelled of old books (a hint of mildewed pages melded with excitement). It felt like walking into your old Grandma or Grandpa's house ... who was rich and collected a lot of books! The walls were filled with books from 20 or 30 years ago to hundreds of years ago. We could have stayed here for hours looking around but had to restrain ourselves knowing we couldn't fit much in our luggage...but it was so cool perusing what was available. The store has tried to organize things in a ramshackle way ... but good luck in trying to find a specific title quickly. Still, part of the fun is the hunt for treasure. The building itself is beautiful - with it's previous life being a former Gaelic church...we have no idea who old the building actually is. We didn't have much interaction with the staff but the man sitting at the desk didn't exactly give off the most helpful, welcoming vibes. Mostly didn't seem to care if we were there or not - but we didn't mind as we enjoyed just looking through the written treasures this place has to offer.

Several people had recommended Leakey's to me and I was very much looking forward to going. My first impression was good-what a wonderful selection of books in an atmospheric setting! But I soon realized there was nowhere to sit down. Like many people, I have some mobility issues.
If I had had a seat, I would have happily browsed for quite a while and would almost certainly have bought some books. As it was, I left very soon after I arrived feeling disappointed. I realize you can't have loads of chairs. But one or two would make a bi difference. Please fix this!

I was really looking forward to buying several books from this bookshop as I had heard they had a huge stock and I had the luggage allowance to fill a suitcase of wonderful books. After being inside for just a few minutes, I enquired at the desk to be pointed in the direction of the books I was hoping to find. The man at the desk couldn’t have been any less interested in what I had to say. It was like I was bothering him and he hardly looked at me during our conversation, if you could call it that. Anyway, I proceeded to look around and was amazed at how unorganised and frankly overpriced they seemed to be. Maybe in the far past, they believed in customer satisfaction but my visit was so disappointing. Thankfully the rest of my stay in Inverness was wonderful, and I met many really friendly people.

We were so excited to visit Leakey’s with our children today after visiting on our honeymoon 10 years ago. We should have stayed away, the most rude and unwelcoming place I’ve been in the Highlands, happy memories ruined.
My autistic son was moving around on the top floor, being followed by his young sister, when the owner/shopkeeper barked loudly from the ground floor that the ‘playground is outside’ twice. They weren’t touching anything, they weren’t in anyone’s way, they were amusing themselves whilst we shopped. We hope you enjoyed humiliating a small child with additional needs and his parents. Had you come and had a polite conversation or observed us for more than a few seconds you’d have heard us asking the children to slow down and seeing them comply.
I would advise people with children to find somewhere else to visit - everyone else has been happy to welcome our whole family without such a discriminatory attitude.
As for Leakey’s, your rudeness lost you a large sale of art books that my husband put back and ironically several children’s books that my oldest son had chosen.

I think that this bookshop was the best place in Inverness we visited. A family of bookworms such as ours could have spent hours in such a place with an amazing atmosphere. Only the airline luggage limits prevented us from buying more:) Given the volume of books, they were well organised and the staff helped us in our search. Thanks!

I collect old botanical books and was very excited to visit this bookshop. But what a dissapointment!! When I asked the owner if he had antique botanical books, he simply replied: There's a happy thought!" I heard him say to another Dutch couple what a stupid question they asked... That beside, he had rows of antique books behind the counter and under covers on the floor which we weren't allowed to look into. In the center of the store he has stands with lots old antique prints for sale. In my honest opinion he takes the prints out of antique books to sell separately. What a waste! All of this valuable information that gets lost this way!! On the way out, I saw a old book on Swiss flora behind glass, but I was too disgusted to go back in and ask him about this book. I will never go back.

I am looking for a book called: A handbook of a sourdough biotechnology. Any chance you might have it?

I can only suggest you try contact them directly by phone or email. I cannot (living over 8000 miles away) tell you if they have it in stock. I am sure that if they have it or can get it for you they will. I cannot stress how much I value their service. Try +44 1463 239947 to contact them.

I'm looking for a 1940s edition of Joseph Conrad's Tales of Land and Sea.

Rhonda, I've personally no idea if Leakey's has it. My best guess is to contact them via e-mail or phone (try +44 1463 239947 on the phone). Given my (rather short) experience I'm sure you'll get a quick answer from them. I found the gentleman in charge (I don't know if it was Charles) extremely helpful and attentive.
