World's Oldest Post Office in Scotland Saved by Descendant living in Florida
In the News
I love these sort of stories , especially when things or places are unique and are so old
I visited “U Fleků”, a brewery in prague which sells one of the oldest and original dark beers in the world going back to 1349
But this is the first i have heard of the oldest working post office in the world , and this happens to be in Sanquhar in Scotland
The new owner and latest postmaster is a descendant from Florida
Another claim to fame for the post office is that Robbie Burns was a regular visitor to the town and became close friends with the Sanquhar postmaster at that time
It definately gets my 'stamp' of approval and worth 'posting'
What's the oldest establishment you might have visited ?
