This early 19th century house at the top of the village street must be the oldest building in Castlebay, apart from the castle. It features as the post office in Whisky Galore and my favourite moment is when Captain Waggett (Basil Radford) knocks on the door in the middle of the night and Peggy Macroon (Joan Greenwood) answers and says "Oh it's yourself Mr Whackett. The post office is closed."
