WELCOME TO MAINSTREET
Based in the Scottish Borders village of St Boswells, The Mainstreet Trading Company is a destination in itself. Husband and wife team, Rosamund and Bill de la Hey, renovated the former auction house in 2008 to create a light and airy space filled with books and the smell of coffee. In 2012, they went on to create Mainstreet Deli & Home in a beautiful barn behind the main shop.

I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for the beautiful parcel of books that arrived today. The pink string alone gave me a little jump of joy but the wrapped books inside really made my day. I don’t know if I accidentally pressed the gift wrap option, or if you are just lovely, but thank you!!
