Thanks to generous donations from our visitors, Betsy's has a wide-ranging stock that includes: cookery, gardening, crafts, sport, biography, history, art, and, of course, novels, from original Penguins and classics to contemporary titles. Arranged like a library, there really is something for everyone including collectable older items and a Children’s Corner. There are some amazing reads and a lot to uncover; you could find that out-of-print book you've been searching for, a new author to try, or discover a new interest.
A dedicated team of volunteers sort through the donations and ensure the shelves are always brimming with books. Located by the visitor entrance, the bookshop provides a very pleasant environment to browse as well as a splendid view of the estate. Why not stop by on your next visit to Scotney and pick up a bargain?
Rare and unusual books
Sometimes, we're fortunate to receive more valuable and collectable items. These books are individually priced and we don't have all of them on display but the link below lists what we have in stock. If there are any you would like to view, please email to arrange a time when we can get them out of storage for you. We can post items for an additional fee.
