Scotland remains under lockdown, so the bookshop is physically closed but you can order books for delivery - please do still order books!
Books are packed daily and we have a limited click & collect service so we can keep our booksellers safe.
Love & solidarity,
Mairi, Jim & the Lighthouse family
Welcome to the (virtual) Lighthouse Bookshop!
Lighthouse is a queer-owned and woman led independent community bookshop based in Edinburgh. We are an unapologetically activist, intersectional, feminist, antiracist, lgbtq+ community space. In 2020 we were named Scotland’s Best Independent Bookshop!
By buying from Lighthouse, attending our events, or sharing our stories you are supporting an independent shop on the high street, our team of dedicated booksellers and voting with your wallet for green, ethical, community led business; thank you!
