About UK Regional Stamps
Regional stamps for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man were introduced in 1958. Scotland received distinctive thistle designs, Wales featured the dragon, and Northern Ireland used local symbols. The regional stamps used the Wilding portrait with local designs. The regions later received Machin designs with regional symbols. Regional stamps are valid throughout the UK despite their specific designs.
