A full-time post office service has returned to a town in the south of Scotland after nearly six years.
Langholm's main post office shut at the end of 2019 and it was left with a part-time outreach service in the town hall for its 2,000 or so residents.
However, thanks to Elizabeth and Kelvin Wilson – who moved to the town four years ago – the "lifeline" service has now returned.
It will operate out of The Paper Shop and be open to the public for 60 hours a week.
Elizabeth said she was well aware of the implications for local residents after the loss of the service and the couple had jumped at the chance to bring a full-time service back.
"We were on holiday last year and we got an email asking if we were interested in opening up a post office," she said.
"We just decided to go for it from then. The whole community has been totally behind us."
