Early Scottish Postal History

The development of postal services in Scotland in 120 years that encompassed the Union of Crowns with England, several wars, civil war, plague, revolution, famine and the Union of Parliaments. Initially, letters were carried by private arrangement, merchant posts and burgh posts. Over time organised, structured posts developed which were available for public use. A Scottish Post Office was created, only to be absorbed, in 1711, into a new British Post Office.

Event Notes
Event Note
 The Academy is keen to maintain an ongoing interest in all areas of philately, as will be illustrated through our display covering both the national classical themes of Belgium and its colonies, such as the exceptional collection of the Medallion Issue, and the display of all the stamps with inverted centres issued over the years, as well as new areas of interest relating to post-war postal services and foreign philately (Greece, Canada, etc ). The latter have the ambition to develop into major collections receiving top-level recognition in the future. So, be amongst the first to learn about them.
