Transcamster Bog is a small, landlocked property of two non-continguous plots of peat bog in Caithness, Scotland. The name "Transcamster" comes from the necessity of having to cross Camster to go from one plot to the other.
There's a tradition of British island owners issuing local stamps for their islands, so why not be the first to issue stamps for landlocked property?
This issue commemorates the
260th anniversary of the birth of Horatio Nelson (born September 29, 1758), Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronte, Knight of the Order of the Bath, and Knight Grand Commander of the Order of Saint Joachim. The stamp shows the painting of Nelson before the Battle of Trafalgar by George Lucy Good and Charles Lucy at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The green border symbolizes the Order of Saint Joachim, whose breast star he wears in this painting.
The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
