Iconic Craigellachie Bridge on Royal Mail Stamps
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the new Royal Mail first class stamp, issued from 5 March 2015, which features the Craigellachie Bridge in Moray; notes that the bridge was built by Thomas Telford more than 200 years ago and is a 150ft cast iron bridge over the River Spey; understands that the bridge was cast in sections in Wales and transported by sea to the Moray Firth and was then taken by horse-drawn wagons to Craigellachie; believes that this is the first time that a Moray landmark has appeared on a Great British stamp, and hopes that the publicity surrounding this stamp design will encourage people to visit the bridge and enjoy the magnificent scenery and businesses in the surrounding areas.
