Tolstachaolais: the post office

While many post offices have a buzzer which sounds as the door opens, the postmistress here is alerted to the arrival of customers by the loud bark of the dog tethered to the outside wall.

Tolstachaolais: along the shore of Loch a' Bhaile

Looking across the loch, which runs alongside the road through the village. However, this is the far side that we are looking along.

Tolstachaolais: postbox № HS2 62

This postbox stands more or less in the centre of the village, in front of a house that is set particularly well back from the road. The larger-scale map still marks that house as a post office, although it has actually (as reflected in the 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 map) relocated just over a kilometre to the north - see NB1939 : Tolstachaolais: the post office.
