Sanquhar
Sanquhar is a community on the River Nith in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It lies north of Thornhill and west of Moffat. It is a former Royal Burgh. Sanquhar is notable for its small post office, established in 1712 and also held to be the earliest working post office on the planet. It was additionally the location where the Covenanters, who opposed episcopalisation of the church, signed the Sanquhar Declaration relinquishing their loyalty to the King, an occasion commemorated by a monument in the main street. The church of St Brides contains a memorial to James Crichton, a 16th-century polymath. The damages of Sanquhar Castle stand close-by. Nithsdale Wanderers, the local team, were developed in 1897. In 1924-- 25, Wanderers won the Scottish Division 3.
