Postbus Country
by Joan Burnie and photograph by Douglas Corrance

The Royal Mail introduced its first Scottish postbus service in 1968. The idea of carrying mail, people, animals, morning milk and paper, flowers for a bride and doctors' prescriptions has made the buses and their resourceful drivers part of the fabric of rural Scotland.

To view Scotland from its postbuses is to glimpse the ever changing relationship between old and new ways of living. Through out her travels by postbus, Joan Burnie observed the remarkable adaptability of local communities accepting the challenge of new industries such a fish-farming, computer software, and the seeming inexhaustible tourist trade.

Above all, it is the idea of "eaves-dropping: on individuals who depend on the postbus which makes this book unique. Through their gossip and in listening to the drivers' stories and reflections, "Postbus County" reveals a true portrait of contemporary life in the most romanticized areas of Scotland.
