The Future of The World 's oldest operating Post Office in southern Scotland has been secured after new owners were found.

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

The Town 's Post Office first opened in 1712 and has been in continuous operation since then.

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

The couple take over the branch from Nazra Alam who had run the Post Office along with her late husband, Dr Manzoor Alam, who died in November Last Year .

Lincolnshire-born Mr Ford and his wife Mary, from Motherwell, had been living and working in Florida for 20 years when they first heard About the historic site being For Sale in 2020.

They Returned to the UK to look after their elderly mothers who have both since died.

The Fords were initially outbid for the Post Office but when that deal fell through they jumped at the chance to take over.

Mrs Ford has since discovered a connection to the area as her ancestors came from Muirkirk - About 25 miles by road from Sanquhar.

Mr Ford said: " It is amazing that I have gone from living in Florida for 20 years, where the history is mostly 19th to 20Th Century , to becoming the postmaster for The World 's oldest Post Office which dates back over 300-plus years.

" I was an avid stamp collector as a child and to discover that Mary's ancestors were from The Local area was fate. "

He Said they were " excited and humbled" to be serving the community and looked forward to welcoming tourists from near and far to The Town .

Post Office chief executive Nick Read paid tribute to Dr and Mrs Alam for running The Site for The Past eight years.

" Nazra continued running the branch for the Sanquhar community, and the thousands of tourists who visit every year, through her grief and throughout the Covid pandemic, " He Said .

" Nazra has been a remarkable postmistress and I hope she enjoys a happy retirement surrounded by her children and grandchildren. "

Mrs Alam said her late husband had been fascinated by the postal history of The Town .

" The People of Sanquhar are lovely and the scenery in All Directions is beautiful, " She Said .

" Manzoor and I loved Our Time in Scotland, but The Winters were too cold for us.

" I give my heartfelt thanks to The People of Sanquhar who have been very kind to us over The Years and for their custom and banter that kept me going. "

She also thanked the staff who had worked for them.
