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 issued a stamp commemorating Dr. Huang Kuan on January 22, 2017, the weekend before the Chinese New Year. Huang Kuan
(
黃寬,
1829–1878), also known in English-language history books as Wong Fun and Wong Foon, was the first Chinese person to graduate from the University of Edinburgh or any European university. He graduated with a Doctorate of Medicine in 1857 and returned to China to practice medicine. Today, a statue of Dr. Huang Kuan stands on the grounds of the Confucius Institute for Scotland at the University of Edinburgh.
