Paper Thistle is an independent Scottish bookshop celebrating the best of Scotland’s fiction and non-fiction. We specialise in Scottish authors and offer a carefully curated selection of Scottish fiction alongside crime, classics, local history, folklore, and nature writing, all hand-picked to reflect Scotland’s literary diversity. We support small presses and showcase both new releases and enduring favourites, connecting readers with stories that highlight Scotland’s culture, humour, landscapes, and storytelling tradition.
