First day cover (click on the image for a larger image)

Transcamster Bog local post marks another important event in the developing history of the nation. On September 3, 2019, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was defeated in yet another vote about Brexit. It was his first vote as Prime Minister and the finale of a day that included a revolt by some of his own party's Members of Parliament and a Member defecting to the Opposition and thus eliminating the Government's majority in the House of Commons.

The stamp has a design similar to an earlier stamp issued for another Brexit vote defeat, Theresa May's:

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed, i.e., requires glue.

50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing (July 21, 2019)

First day cover (click on the image for a larger image)

Transcamster Bog issued a stamp to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's landing on the Moon. The stamp depicts Neil Armstrong's photo of Buzz Aldrin on the Moon. The stamp also has an excerpt from Queen Elizabeth II's message to Apollo 11. The Queen's message, along with messages from other world leaders, was put on a disc that went to the Moon with Apollo 11.

The date of issue, July 21, 2019, is the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong becoming the first human to walk on the Moon. But according to NASA, the crew landed and exited from the lunar module on the same day, July 20, didn't they? They did in in the United States, by landing at 16:17 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and with Armstrong stepping on the Moon at 22:56 EDT. However, in Great Britain, it was 02:56 Greenwich Mean Time on July 21 when Armstrong stepped on the Moon. Hence, Transcamster Bog set the first day of issue for this stamp at July 21.

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).

First day cover (click on the image for a larger image)

Transcamster Bog issued a stamp to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the publication of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. The first day of issue, June 8, 2019, is the 70th anniversary of the publication date.

Instead of referring to Scotland, the stamp refers to Airstrip One, Oceania, the name of Britain and the superstate that conquered it in the novel. The stamp's denomination, 2 + 2 = 50 p, is inspired by the last scene of the novel.

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).

Visits to the Guadalupe Shrines in Los Angeles (Issued on January 25, 2019)

First day cover (click on the image for a larger image)

Our Lady of Guadalupe may seem to be a strange subject for a Scottish local post, but there is a rationale for putting Mexico's most sacred image on a stamp. I visit Los Angeles, California, United States, occasionally. I've noticed that the city has several shrines honouring Our Lady of Guadalupe. My two favourites are La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles (a historic church in the El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument district) and the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, which has an outdoor shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe and a piece of St. Juan Diego's tilma in a side altar indoors. I have long appreciated Our Lady of Guadalupe as Mother of the Americas (a title given to her by Pope John XXIII), so I visit these two shrines when I can.

 The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).

Brexit Vote Defeat of 2019 (Issued on January 15, 2019)

First day cover (click on the image to see a larger image)

Transcamster Bog's first issue of 2019 is an unplanned stamp that observes the defeat of the government's Brexit proposal in Parliament on January 15, 2019. The defeat of Prime Minister Theresa May's government by a vote of 432 to 202 had the largest margin of defeat in British history. The proposal's defeat triggered the opposition Labour Party to ask for a vote of no confidence, which will occur on the next day, January 16, 2019. Thus Britain was thrown into turmoil without a plan to leave the European Union, just 11 weeks before the exit date of March 29.

The stamp was quickly designed by altering the 2018 Visit to London design and printed only an hour later.

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
