LIST OF POST TOWNS AND SUB-OFFICES IN SCOTLAND.
It must be understood that the hours for closing the Letter Box are liable to alterations in the course of
the current year, and, therefore, the Tables exhibited on the Wall of the Post Office ought to be occa-
sionally consulted.
With some exceptions, all Head Offices are Money Order Offices. All Offices at which Money Order
business is transacted are marked thus, m.
When in the subjoined list one place only is mentioned, it is a Head-Office, and when there are two, the
first is a Sub-Office, and the second is the Head-Office, to which the first is subordinate. It sometimes
happens that there is a Money Order Office nearer the Sub-Office than is the Head Office. In these cases
such Money Order Office is added as a third name for the information of any persons who may wish to
remit money to the neighbourhood.
The places marked thus, t, were opened as Postal Telegraph Offices on the 5th February, 1870, and the
system is being extended as rapidly as circumstances permit.
