Hi wonder if anyone knows where the post office in Buittle was in 1861 my McGinns are listed as living there could it have been the one in Palnackie?  and does the building still exist ?

Hi,

Looking at the other entries in the enumeration book it would appear this is almost certainly the Post Office in Palnackie Village, you can see the location on an old Ordnance Survey map here:

Here is a link to Google maps for the location today:

Please note that Google has not added detailed satellite images for this area yet, you will either need to zoom out or switch to Map View or Street View.

Hope this helps,

Emma
