Just a short stroll from Edinburgh’s Botanical Gardens you will find The Gently Mad, a friendly and welcoming bookshop & bookbinders. The shop was opened in 2012 by Rab Mullin, who was quickly joined by son, Baz.

Entering our shop is like stepping back in time, it’s quirky, charming and has the distinctive smell of old leather volumes and dusty books.

We love people to come in and browse and chat and are always happy to help you find what you’re looking for.
