Old Photograph Cottage Post Office Haroldswick Scotland

Old photograph of the cottage Post Office in Haroldswick on the Island of Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland. The name Haroldswick comes from the Viking King Harald, and is reputed to be the first landing point for the Vikings on the Shetland Islands. For many years, Haroldswick Post Office was the most northerly in the UK and visitors could get a special postmark. Since the office's closure in 1999, this record is now held by the post office in Baltasound.
