“And all the lives we ever lived and all the lives to be are full of trees and changing leaves.”
- Virgina Woolf (To the Lighthouse)
We have a little space at number 86 High Street, Forres, filled (as far as reasonably possible) with books old and new. There’s also greeting cards, puzzles, and games.
Come and have a look.
Our shop links to our Bookshop.org page - a lovely website and the best option for those who can’t make it down to the bookshop. If you didn’t already know, Bookshop.org supports independent bookshops (surprise!) across the UK, and is generally ace.

Our beautiful wee vouchers are the perfect present for the insatiable bookaholic in your life. You don’t know what they’re read recently, they’ve got wildly different tastes from you, they’ve got no taste at all but they do love a (bad) book? Get them a gift voucher, we’ll post it out to you, and all the lucky recipient has to do is meander down to the shop to pick out a book or two. The gift of words.
“The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.” - Ursula K. Le Guin
The best place to buy books is a bookshop, so come to 86 High Street, Forres. We have new fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and children’s books; there is also a second-hand section with a little bit of everything. If you’ve got too many books already (impossible), we stock a delightful range of greetings cards and board games.
The best books are the unexpected, un-looked for, the chance discoveries. Under the Leaves will have exactly the book you weren’t looking for.
If you can’t make it to the shop, have a look on our page at Bookshop.org:
