Edward VIII Post Box on the corner of Breadalbane Street and Albert Street, Tobermory

The Edward VIII Post Box, located at the corner of Breadalbane Street and Albert Street in Tobermory, is a cast iron pillar box from 1936, likely made by the Carron Company in Stirlingshire. This cylindrical post box stands on an extended area of pavement in the upper part of the town.

The post box features a black base and a red upper section. It has a swept frieze beneath a shallow domed cap that is dentilled at the rim. The full-height, left-hinged door includes a cup handle and a lock positioned to the right. The lower part of the door displays the cipher 'EVIIIR' in raised gothic lettering, with a crown above and the words 'Post Office' embossed below. Above the letter opening, there is a rectangular opening for letters and a notice frame, with the words 'Next Collection' embossed to the left.

This post box was installed in Tobermory during the short reign of Edward VIII in 1936. A photograph from the 1980s shows it in its current location, which is believed to be its original site, although the pavement has since been widened around it.
