The Scots Connection
Picture

Another first for Prestige booklets and their contents. This is the first of three,  Scotland,  to include Regional Machin stamps ( the other two regions to be introduced at over the coming years are Wales and Northern Ireland ).

The Pictorial cover shows a picture of the famous Forth Road Bridge.

Printed by the House of Questa in litho issue date 21.03.1989. The booklet is made up on interleaving pages and label panes containing the  Scottish Regional Machins which contain information on Scottish history through the ages.

What is interesting as with the previous booklet ( Financial Times )  is the panes printed on ACP have Dextrin gum where as the panes on FCP have PVA gum.

Another first with this booklet was the inclusion of a centre label on the Multi value pane, this label depicts The Lion of Scotland.
