Christmas is Royal Mail’s busiest time of the year and the Moray MSP saw the hard work and dedication of local postal workers who sort and deliver festive mail.

The last recommended posting dates for Christmas are: Second Class – Saturday, December 19, First Class- Monday, December 21 and Special Delivery - Wednesday, December 23.

Mr Lochhead was shown around the office by Delivery Office Manager, Mike Sinclair, and was introduced to the postmen and women who are working hard sorting and delivering mail in the Keith area during the Festive season.

Mr Lochhead said: "There is a huge amount of effort and dedication that goes into delivering a first class Christmas at Royal Mail’s busiest time of year. It was great to meet the team here at Keith.

"Our postal workers do such an important job throughout year and I would like to thank them for their efforts and wish them all the best over the busy festive period."

Mr Sinclair said: "Our postmen and women are working extremely hard to deliver Christmas cards, letters and parcels to people across Keith. We are grateful that Richard Lochhead MSP visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.

"We’d like to remind our customers to post early so that friends and family have longer to enjoy their Christmas greetings. We would also like to ask everyone to please always use the postcode as this helps us greatly in the job that we do at this busy time."

Customers can also help Royal Mail ensure that all their letters, cards and parcels are delivered as quickly and efficiently as possible by taking a few easy steps:

•Post early – Avoid disappointment by posting your cards and parcels early.

•Use a postcode – A clearly addressed card or parcel, with a postcode, and return address on the back of the envelope, will ensure quick and efficient delivery.

•Use Special Delivery – For valuable and important packages and parcels guarantee delivery with Royal Mail’s Special Delivery, which means your gift is tracked, traced and insured against loss.

•Wrap parcels well and always give a return address
