About Us

Welcome to Chapters of Thornhill, where every book is a doorway to a new world! Founded in 2024 by Jenny Batchelor in the heart Dumfries and Galloway, we are passionate about curating a selection of literature that not only entertains but also enlightens. 

Combining her experience as a newspaper reporter, history teacher, avid reader, and loving mother, Jenny has created more than just a bookstore, but a haven of literary magic for everyone.

This charming haven on Drumlanrig Street in Thornhill will host a delightful array of readings, author gatherings, creative writing classes, workshops, and whimsical tea parties, weaving together a tapestry of learning and camaraderie.

We believe that literature has the power to transform perspectives and ignite conversations. Each title we offer is carefully chosen to immerse our readers in rich historical contexts and personal journeys that resonate on a profound level. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of cultural and societal transformations through the stories we share.

At Chapters of Thornhill, we are more than just a bookstore; we are a community of avid readers and thinkers. We invite you to join us on this literary adventure, where every page turned is a step toward greater empathy and insight. Together, let’s explore the chapters of our shared human experience and celebrate the power of storytelling!
