LIST OF POST TOWNS AND SUB-OFFICES IN SCOTLAND.
i^° It must be understood that the hours for closing the Letter Box are liable to alteration in the course
of the current year, and, therefore, the Tables exhibited in the lobby of the Post Office ought to be occa-
sionally consulted.
All Offices at which Money Order and Post Office Savings Banks business is transacted are marked
thus, m. Postal Telegraph Offices are marked thus, t. Railway Companies Stations that collect and deliver
Telegrams on behalf of the Post Office, are marked thus, r.
When in the subjoined list one place only is mentioned, it is a Head Office, or what is termed a Railway
Sub-Office — that is, a Sub-Office which receives its correspondence direct from a Travelling Post Office
instead of through a Post Town ; and when two are mentioned, the Urst 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 1^ remit money to the neighbourhood. AU Head
Offices are Money Order Offices, but all Sub-Offices are not.
Note. — When the time of despatch to a Sub-Office is not given in the " Letter Box Closes" column of
this list, the times of despatch to the Head (or second) Office should be referred to.
