Town gets first new bookshop for half a century

A Scottish author has teamed up with a bookshop owner to open the first dedicated new book store in a Highland town in more than half a century.

Writer and entrepreneur Angus Macdonald has been given backing for the joint venture from Kevin Ramage, owner of The Watermill Bookshop in Aberfeldy, recently named one of the World’s Best Bookstores. Mr Macdonald said the Highland Bookshop, unveiled to coincide with this week’s Independent Bookshop Week, will be the first of its kind in Fort William in living memory.
