We are thrilled to be welcoming bestselling Scottish author, Flora Johnston, back to the shop as we celebrate her brand new, deeply moving story of a pioneering Scottish aviator straining to reach for her dreams on the cusp of an uncertain future, The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay.  Join Flora on Wednesday 5th February at 7pm as she chats to Jenny Brown about the tragic story of pioneering Scottish aviator Elsie Mackay who disappeared in 1928 while attempting to be the first person to fly the Atlantic east to west and the first woman to span the ocean in either direction.  Flora Johnston’s follow-up to The Paris Peacemakers is a powerful evocation of the 1920s, its sweeping outlook taking in the international aviation race, Glasgow's ship yards and the insidious threat of Mussolini's Italy. It taps into our perennial fascination with early female aviators like Amelia Earhart and Amy Johnston.  - Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm, please arrive early to secure a good seat. Tickets are £3and there is a Ticket & Book option which includes a signed copy of The Endeavour of Elsie MacKay. The bookshop has level access, events are seated and speakers use microphones. If you have any concerns about accessibility, please do get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Refunds are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, we are unable to offer a refund after the event.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

today is

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because the weather is great. It takes two to three hours to walk down in a circle, if you go faster, you can go faster. After entering, you can change the paper ticket with the voucher number provided by Trip.com , you can rent a guide for 3.5 pounds, and you can listen to the corresponding number of the attraction.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

Edinburgh Old Town

it was so lovely and easy to walk around. There were loads of shops in the city centre and I would highly recommend to those who loves heritage and history.

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It&#39;s really not one of the most romantic sunsets. I&#39;ve been here, cold shock but beautiful shock! Multiple celebrity business cards will not be repeated one by one. But my only deepest experience is the lyric, &quot;The castle is keeping secrets for love, and I am keeping memories for you&quot; I didn&#39;t think the song was romantic until I climbed to the top of Carlton ⛰️ It was really speechless and beautiful! ! I really like this light blue gentle dusk ～～ Thanks for a little embers near sunset that day, let me see the light blue light orange sky boundary in the distance, really the ultimate romance ～～ constantly touching me ✨💕🌹 recommend this ultimate romantic, must go? [View] Medieval dusk 🌆, the only ❤️ in the world
