Buchanty Post Office

Rach · Post by **Rach** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 7:08 pm

I, hopefully, have uploaded a copy of a postcard of Buchanty Post Office and am just waiting for it to be approved. Does anyone have any idea where the building was/is? The old schoolhouse, where gr granny died, is there but, unless the post office was at the front of it, there are no other buildings there now that it could have been.
I don't know who the people are but as it was in a box of old family photos I am guessing that they were or related to McRaws in the area.
Is there anyone from that area who can help me with this, please?
I am now going through some of our photos and putting names on the back so that in 100 yrs time our descendants will have an idea who everyone is

Hi Rae,

On the 1901 Ordnance Survey map, the Post Office is at Easter Buchanty Farm, just east of the village.

All the best,
