Aberfoyle postmistress celebrating 30 years of service at Post Office

A rural Stirling postmistress is celebrating more than 30 years service with the Post Office.

Ros Dingwall has worked at Aberfoyle Post Office since 1986 when she and her husband Tom moved to the village from Balloch where they had run a hotel business.

In April 1991 Ros took over as postmistress at the Main Street premises after her husband left the postmaster role to become a postman there.

During the pandemic Ros had to shield and she received the help of staff and her daughter Tami to keep Aberfoyle Post Office running.

Post Office area manager Susan McMahon this week praised Ros’s contribution over the years. She commented: “We are extremely grateful for Ros’s commitment, she is an incredible asset to the business and has served her community for an amazing length of time.”

Ros has also been a member of Strathard Community Council for around 25 years.

Ros commented: “I am delighted to receive this long-service award.

“I would also like to thank my wonderful staff and also the postmen based here.

“They have all contributed to making my 35 years within the Post Office so enjoyable.”
