Garage by the A865 Filling station and workshops by the A865 on Benbecula. Fuel might be expensive on the Outer Hebrides, but it&#039;s still cheaper than motorway prices.

Griminish: postbox № HS7 43, Church Hill This postbox stands in probably what would be considered the centre of the village, by a cluster of houses which we see in the background, through the walls of a bus shelter. The box is emptied at 1:30pm on weekdays and at 9:15am on Saturdays.

Griminish did have a post office from 1 June 1938 until some time in 1979. I believe the post office was a few hundred yards to the west of here.
