The
Bernera Islands consisting of Great Bernera and Little Bernera are Scottish islands that lie off the north-west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The Laird of the Islands maintains a local postal service and on occasion various issues are made available for tourists to purchase. The stamps which usually cost double that of normal United Kingdom postage rates have no postal validity within the UK. Mailed items from Bernera are required to have normal UK stamps affixed to enable transit within the UK.
In 1994 Bernera, along with other local postal services in the UK issued a set of stamps commemorating great moments in the history of
the FA Cup. Six stamps were produced along with two souvenir sheets.
