World's oldest post office in Sanquhar finds new owners

Barry and Mary Ford were living in Florida when they first heard the Sanquhar site was up for sale.

Mr Ford said he was proud to become just the 17th postmaster in the site's long history.

The news brings to an end a four-year search for new owners after the post office was put up for sale in late 2019.
