- Sanquhar is a town in the south of Scotland in Dumfries and Galloway, on the River Nith. It lies north of Thornhill and west of Moffat. It is a Royal Burgh. Sanquhar is notable for its tiny post office (established in 1712), claimed to be the oldest working post office in the world. It was also the place where the Covenanters, who opposed episcopalisation of the church, signed the Sanquhar Declaration renouncing their allegiance to the King, an event commemorated by a monument in the main street. The church of St. Brides contains a memorial to James Crichton, a 16th-century polymath. The ruins of Sanquhar Castle stand nearby. Nithsdale Wanderers F.C. , the local team, were formed in 1897. In 1924-5, Wanderers won the Scottish Division Three.
- Sanquhar ist ein Ort in der Unitary Authority Dumfries and Galloway und hat 2.028 Einwohner . Sanquhar liegt im Tal des Flusses Nith und an der A76, die die Städte Kilmarnock und Dumfries verbindet. Offiziell wurde die Stadt 1598 mit einer Royal Charter begründet, doch es finden sich schon aus dem 8. Jahrhundert Siedlungsspuren. In Sanquhar steht auch das älteste Postgebäude der Welt, das im 17. Jahrhundert eröffnet wurde.
