Cornerstone Bookshop was the brainchild of a Diocesan member and has been associated with St John's, Princes Street, since its inception. It is Scotland's leading theological bookshop with something for everyone: those new to Christianity, members of clergy, academics, children, gift-seekers...the choice is amazing! AND you can order non-theological books from them, either in person or via bookshop.org. So, why not make a visit, be inspired, and find something to curl up with as the nights draw in this autumn...?!
