    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?
    Transcamster Bog commemorates the centenary of the end of World War I with this stamp. The stamp honours a volunteer aid service that is not usually shown on stamps commemorating the First World War: St. John Ambulance. In both World Wars, St. John Ambulance sent volunteers, known as the Volunteer Aid Detachments, to Europe to aid British soldiers. The stamp's central design is a poster that appeared in the British magazine Punch.
    The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
    As Transcamster Bog issues more stamps, they will be offered for sale on eBay. Keep watching the listings. Transcamster Bog stamps will be used on mail sent to customers.
