Tour Scotland Photograph John Lumsden Gravestone Kilmany Fife


Tour Scotland photograph of the John Lumsden gravestone in the churchyard cemetery in Kilmany, Fife, Scotland. This gravestone tells the story of Kilmany Post Office. John Lumsden was the village grocer and when rural post offices were established in the 1850, he became the first postmaster as well. His daughter and son-in law took over after his death. Generations of the family continued to run the cottage post office until it closed in 1983.
