Heron and Willow is a family run bookshop in the beautiful town of Jedburgh in The Scottish Borders.
We opened in Spring 2023 and are beyond thrilled to have been twice longlisted as Scottish and UK bookshop of the year twice (2024/2025). We tend to stock books we find curious and interesting and love the idea of customers finding something that makes them go “Ooo” or “Wow”.
We have a dedicated children’s area, with nook and drawing table. We stock a interesting array of books about Scottish history. And we’re also into our music (due to a previous life of running a festival for over a decade) so we stock music books, new vinyl and record players.
We run three books groups, a writing group and host monthly events with authors, comedians, musicians, storytellers and anyone that has story to tell. We’ve also run our Festival Of Stories for two years now, a fun selection of events across the town over the course of a week/weekend.
We love our community; Jedburgh has some great independent shops and being the first town of Scotland, it’s easy to get to on the A68, halfway between Newcastle to Edinburgh and very close to other Borders towns, such as Melrose, Kelso, Hawick and Galashiels.
Our regular opening hours vary slightly across the seasons and we recommend checking on Google for the most up to date.
We hope to see you soon!
Dean, Jayne & Freya Freeman
