Birsay books is a second hand book store specialised in books on the island, it’s wildlife and it’s history while also having plenty of easy reading for holiday makers and avid bibliophiles.
Having moved to Orkney in 2017, we set to transforming our online book business into a real shop for the area. With a spectacular view of the brough of Birsay from our scenic vantage point and with neighbouring beaches, tea rooms and historic sites, Birsay Books is perfectly located to round out a visit to the north of Orkney.
