Stromness Books & Prints
1 Graham Place, Stromness, Orkney, KW16 3BY
"Scotland's only drive-in bookshop. Just like a cat, you never really own a bookshop. It opened in 1970 as a second hand bookshop run by Charles Senior. When John L Broom, the local librarian, took it over he began to sell blue penguin paperbacks. By the time time Tam took the reins in the late seventies maps were on sale. Before it was a bookshop the premises were part of Stockan’s bakery. Before that the tiny building was a tea shop, a painters and a grocers."
