A SCOTTISH woman will be amongst those heading to a distant part of Antarctica to run the world’s most remote post office and count the island’s penguins.
Mairi Hilton, from Bo’ness near Falkirk, is part of a team which beat a record number of applicants to become responsible for managing historic site Port Lockroy on Goudier Island.
The team are set to abandon home comforts to live and work in the region without any running water or a flushing toilet.
