A MILKMAN has retired after 50 years on the same delivery route, started by his uncle in 1931. 

John Black, 73, has stepped away from the milk run at his family’s farm in Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire.

The round was started by John’s uncle Jimmy in 1931.

Now, John has made the final deliveries for J&J Black farm with his daughter Lois.

His last outing included a visit to long-time customer Derek Watt, who he’d share breakfast with during shifts.
