Coming soon to Tackle & Books... our Big Book Weekend, as we launch not one but two fantastic Mull-based titles.

First up, join us on Friday 10th April at 3pm for The Seal Who Loved to Sing. Zoe and Lynsey will be signing books, and there will be singing and drawing, plus a free Isle of Mull ice cream with every book purchased (while stock lasts).

And on Saturday 11th April at 11.00 Mull's very own queen of crime, Alex Gray will sign copies of her latest Lorimer novel, Blood on Old Stones. This time Lorimer is back on Mull for the funeral of an old friend. Could evil lurk in such a beautiful place?

We're excited to be stocking this lovely new edition of Knobble the Minke Whale, by local ecologist, naturalist and wildlife guide, Ewan Miles of Nature Scotland. With fantastic illustrations by Megan Francis, this is a super introduction to some of the species that live in our local waters.
