Postmarks from Fife

In 1844 Scottish Post Offices were allocated Numbers alphabetically from Aberdeen (“1”) to Wishaw (“342”).
Other places were given numbers later NOT alphabetical order.
Kirkcaldy was allocated “210”.
The bold lettering are the places where we have examples to show you,
more will appear as we get them through time. We have used some examples outwith the early numbers given.
If anyone would like to send us a copy of any postmark from a Fife place just send it to tbsm@tbsm.co.uk
