The Post Office at Gyle

Even though Gyle was a small settlement, it had its own post office for a short time. The post office opened in 1888. It helped people send and receive letters and packages. However, the post office closed just one year later, in 1889. This short time shows that Gyle was likely a very small or temporary community.
