This box has been repainted since this photo was taken, it is now plain red. The gold will have been added by a local enthusiast who, it seems, is no longer active.

Penfold replica on the Isle of Iona, Scotland


Near by was this sign, pointing to the post office. These used to be very common, often sited on top of post boxes to guide people to where they could buy stamps, but few have survived.

A double box plastered with stickers asking, 'Ble mae'r Gymraeg' or 'Where's the Welsh?', though as far as I could see the posting times etc. were in both languages.
