The Post in the Hills by Katharine Stewart
The author describes her experiences of running a tiny Highland post office -- from the front porch of her home! -- and gives a fascinating history of the postal service in Scotland at the same time.
Katharine Stewart was born in 1914 in Reading. Following the Second World War and after a spell running a hotel in Edinburgh she moved with her husband, Sam Stewart, and daughter Hilda, to the croft at Abriachan near Loch Ness, where she began her writing career with A Croft in the Hills. Later she trained as a teacher before, on the death of her husband, becoming the local postmistress at Abriachan. She died in 2013 and is survived by her daughter, Hilda.
