Old Photograph Dounreay Post Office Scotland

Old photograph of the cottage Post Office by Dounreay, Caithness, Scotland. In 1437, the MacKays defeated the men of Caithness at Sandside Bay near Reay, in the battle known as the Sandside Chase, turning there on the pursuers that had chased them away from an attempted raid. The area around the village has been occupied for millennia. Within the modern village are the remains of a stone circle, several Viking houses and burials.
