Tills on the Meadows

Established in 1985, Tills is one of Edinburgh's oldest surviving second-hand bookshops. Overlooking the Meadows park, the shop has carved out a small literary corner in Edinburgh's South Side. First opened by Rick and Ann Till, the shop was taken over in 2019 by Kate and Joshua McNamara.

​

The shop is very wee, but we've crammed it with a wide ranging library of beautiful books to serve the voracious readers of Edinburgh.

​

Open seven days a week, with a big selection of literary fiction both contemporary and classic, quirky sci-fi, history and biography, philosophy and sociology, and the odd antiquarian gem. There are a few seats, and staff ready for all manner of bookish discussions.

Come read with us.
