The saga reports from a Scottish Princess and daughter of a local king with name "James" (it has given 6 Scottish kings which would come into consideration), which fled with her Lovest in a boat to the Faroe Islands, where one came on the island Nólsoy and where one found an old abandoned house (abandonned because the Pest-pandemy) and which one choiced for a new domicil. Her father found his daughter in the end... and from this place it's giving several variants of this story. This house is contemporary a museum. The stamps were postmarked with a round lineless first-day special cancellation with 30,0 mm diameter from Tórshavn, as first day of the issue of the stamps and and the drawing of an old castle ruin as central motive. Stamp picture size: 18.0 x 38.0 mm (printed area of a single stamp) |
