Creagorry: the post office

The more southerly of two post offices on the Isle of Benbecula (the other being at Balivanich). From the 1930s to the '70s, the island boasted two more branches. Creagorry was the second office on the island, dating from 24 November 1878. The address of the current premises, The Old Bank, suggests that it has not always been in this location.
