Our Logo

Our logo is based upon the "Brunswick Star", an experimental cancellation used in Edinburgh from 1863 to 1871. The name refers to a decoration from the Hanoverian Order of Brunswick, but no-one knows who gave it this name, or when. The number in the logo is the Post Office number issued to Edinburgh in 1844. The image shows a Brunswick Star used on cover.
