About Sanquhar

The oldest post office in the world (established 1712), the Sanquhar Declarations (two famous Covenanting protests), and a small Upper Nithsdale town of extraordinary communications heritage

A little history

Sanquhar Post Office, established in 1712, is the oldest post office in the world still operating. The Sanquhar Declaration of 1680 — pinned to the market cross by Richard Cameron — was a key moment of Covenanting resistance. The town sits in beautiful Upper Nithsdale.

Local tip

The Post Office is a genuine piece of world history — the oldest working post office on earth. The Sanquhar Museum for the Declaration story. The Nithsdale walking.
