The world's first and oldest Post Office is on the brink of closure - after more than 300 YEARS.
Sanquhar Post Office in Sanquhar, Dumfries and Galloway opened its doors in 1712, and is recognised by the Guinness World Records as the first post office in the world.
It has become an unlikely tourist attraction for stamp collectors, as well as being a ‘lifeline’ for elderly people in the community who depend on it for banking.
