Peebles post box painted GOLD!
To celebrate Peebles born Scott Brash's Olympic gold medal, the local post box has been painted gold. Scott was part of the Equestrian team who won the gold medal after a jump off with the Netherlands in the show jumping event.
It is Britain's first Olympic show jumping victory for 60 years; the last British gold was in Helsinki in 1952.
It was also the first show jumping medal of any description since a team silver in Los Angeles 28 years ago.
As well as the golden pillar box Scott will find himself on a special commeorative stamp.
He has been riding the horse Hello Sanctos since early 2012. His best result before today was winning the World Cup Grand Prix in Florida.
