New Stamp Issue: Tartans of the Far North (6th May 2010)

06 May 2010

Today sees the issue of a new set of stamps from The Summer Isles Post Office. The issue is the final in a series of three depicting Tartans and Clan badges emanating from the northernmost parts of mainland Scotland.

This issue is a special Inter-Island issue, meaning that the First Day Covers issued today have travelled via Horse Island prior to arriving at Achiltibuie Post Office before their onward journey.

The issue has been researched and designed by The Summer Isles Philatelic Bureau in association with the Scottish Tartans' Authority and White Peak Design. We all very grateful to all parties for their involvement in the production of this issue.

For further information about today's new issue, including details as to how to place an order, please visit New Stamp Issue: Tartan's of the Far North on the Post Office homepage.
