We live near the village of Sanquhar (pronounced San-ker) in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.

This is the home of the Oldest Post Office in the World- dating back to 1712- Sanquhar post office’s historical importance is recognised by the Royal Mail. The postmaster is the only postmaster in Britain allowed to stamp a date when a letter is posted or a card sent. The frank reads "Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire 1712".

-most of our chocolates are posted from here.

Cheers
