A Dollar bookshop is set to host two author nights at their Bridge Street store.

The Wee Bookshop opened in 2023 as a manifestation of Carly Penderis' retirement dream during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2025, it was featured as one of the Top 10 Independent Scottish bookshops at the British Book Awards, and has become a favourite for locals to shop for interesting books and enjoy a coffee in the process.

The shop hosts regular book club events, as well as author interviews where readers can hear the inspirations behind their favourite stories.

This month, The Wee Bookshop will host Natalie Jayne Clark on February 19 to share her insights into her book 'The Malt Whiskey Murders', a crime novel set in rural Kintyre.

It has been highly successful since its release and was the 4th best-selling title at the 2025 Edinburgh International Book Festival.

On February 20, author and journalist Gabriella Bennett will chat to Dominic Hinde about his new book 'Drifting North', an exploration into Scotland's journey with climate change and fossil capitalism across the country's highlands and lowlands.
