Led by pipers the march organised by Nairn River Community Council left the Courthouse and headed down to the Harbour Street Post Office where protesters formed a symbolic line as customers of the business. The community's pleas to Westminster government fell on deaf ears.
Today many residents of the lower part of the town prefer to travel on a bus to Tradespark or even Forres to do their post office business rather than suffer the often lengthy queues at the Cawdor Street Post Office.

Yes but that's because the shop is no longer a post office. Back in the day when Alan Barron ran it I can remember queues and the need for two folk on the counter and not just at Christmas
