The sub-post office at Cornaigmore was opened in 1896. The GPO brought in a telegraph line in the 1920s and installed a telephone in the nearby school when the Met Office opened a weather station there.
After the death of the postmaster in the mid-1950s, the office moved to Balevullin for some twenty-five years. It was re-opened on the original site in Cornaig in 1972 along with a general store and a popular restaurant called the Cèilidh Café. Two years later, they were all destroyed by fire.
In 1979 the post office was re-opened in Kilmoluaig. The Cornaig buildings were renovated in the 1980s as a single dwelling which for a few years also housed the Gaelic Playgroup. It was bought by the local council in the 1990s and converted into two council houses.
