A small village in Scotland is to get mail services for the first time since its post office closed around 12 months ago.

Postal services are to return to a small village in Scotland, it has been confirmed.

Residents in Dunscore have had to seek post office alternatives since their local shop closed around a year ago, but a new scheme will see an outreach service set up in a village hall.

According to the Dumfries and Galloway Standard, the retail outlet it used to run from was also forced to close last month.

Hopes are high that a buyer made be found, but in the past 25 years just four people have attempted to turn the site into a success.

Details about the service have come after the Caernarfon and Denbigh Herald recently reported that campaigners who are trying to get a post office re-opened in Waunfawr, Wales, are to take their battle to Westminster.
