Pitlochry Station Bookshop

Pitlochry Station Bookshop grew from a small idea into a thriving supporter of charities in a surprisingly short time.

Pitlochry Station Bookshop began in 2005 after a local Councillor, the late Eleanor Howie, publicised ScotRail’s new “Adopt-a-Station” scheme and asked the public for ideas to revive the empty buildings at Pitlochry Station.

Three local women – Priscilla Lorimer, Elizabeth Templeton and Nancy Cameron – responded with a plan to raise money for charity by selling secondhand books at 50p each to rail travellers.

In 2017 the Bookshop’s work for charity was recognised when it was awarded the title of “Voluntary Fundraising Group of the Year” by the the Institute of Fundraising Scotland in 2017.

Book donations are always needed and customers come from all over Britain and from all over the World.

The bookshop is open six days a week, from Monday to Saturday.

Winter Opening Hours are 9.30 to 4.00   (Nov to Mar)

Summer Opening Hours are 9.00 to 4.30 (Apr to Oct)
