The Royal Mile Gallery
We are a small, family run business that was opened by James (Jock) Auld Smith in the late 80s. Since then his son Alex has taken on the shop. Located on The Royal Mile in Edinburgh’s Old Town they are known around the world as a truly unique and independent wee shop.
James began his career in London at what was then Bonham’s Auction house where he worked his way up from a cleaner to being the head of Antiquarian Books and Prints. Alex grew up running around the shop and absorbed some of James’s encyclopaedic knowledge through osmosis.
This website will be constantly updated as I (Alex) try to keep it up to date with our overwhelming stock and new purchases. Get in touch if you cant find what you need.
