At the bottom of Cross Wynd where it joins East Port NO2507 : High Street, Falkland stands this replica Penfold post box. Designed by John Wornham Penfold (1828-1909) the distinctive hexagonal 'Penfold', as they became known, is the only British pillar box to be named after its designer and the only one of the many designs which Royal Mail have used to be replicated in this way. The Penfold was such a significant design that some surviving original examples have been given listed building status. There are no original Penfolds in Scotland and the example in this photograph is a replica from 1989 made by Machan Engineering of Denny, who ceased trading in 2015 LinkExternal link
