Unusual

Not many of these in Scotland..if any

I was out on a regular run around the back roads of Renfrewshire when I cycled by this, I thought I was seeing things so a quick turn back and aye, I saw correctly.

An Elizabeth II cypher post box..

as the info says it is a Private Box..

History shows that these boxes were not welcome in Scotland when introduced, Elizabeth II of England but then she would be Elizabeth I of Scotland.

I’ll leave the history part to HERE HERE

They decided to make the Crown as the symbol to be used on post boxes erected since 1950’s as in this example below

Crown box, Elderslie

I assume if Charles succeeds to the throne, the Crown will still be used as he would be Charles III of England..
