    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?
    The third issue from Transcamster Bog depicts Mary, Queen of Scots
    (1542-1587). The painting was by an anonymous artist and based on a miniature portrait of Mary by Nicholas Hilliard, one of the greatest miniature portrait artists of the Elizabethan era. He painted his miniature from life while Mary was in captivity under Queen Elizabeth I of England.
    Buy the mint stamp and the first day cover together.
