Poyntzfield Post Office 2

            Scottish rural village PO which only closed in 2015, details below. Nikon F80, Tamron 28-75mm, original Fuji Acros, Xtol 1+1

A SMALL Black Isle village which regarded its tiny post office in a wooden hut at the bottom of a field as the hub of the community, turned out last week to bid a fond farewell to the retiring postmistress.

Mary Finlayson ran the Poyntzfield Post Office in Jemimaville for 25 years and her retirement last Thursday brought her 43-year career with the organisation to an end.

She started at the Poyntzfield Post Office in September 1990, working from a small vestibule in the Church of Scotland hall, known locally as the Tin Tabernacle.

Her bid to buy the church hall a few years later was unsuccessful, and Mrs Finlayson only had one week to find an alternative venue for the post office. Her husband Derry, a builder, saved the day by constructing a small wooden shed as the new base for the post office.
