Went to Inverness way back in mid 80's to travel on the Kyle of Lochalsh line and stopped overnight in Kyle before going on to Skye. My ex wanted to read Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory. We had tried all WH Smiths from West Sussex, London stations to Cambridge, then via Stoke to Inverness and couldn't get a copy.
Waiting in Kyle for the ferry to Skye we had some time so we popped into a small bookshop close to the quay. It was about the size of a decent garden shed and there was a copy.
Sunny in sunny Teignmouth today, but a bit chilly apparently, but ventured out yet I have not.
