From BBC:
“It is one of a series showing the seven Stewart kings and queens who ruled Scotland from 1406 until the Union of the Crowns with England in 1603.
TV historian Neil Oliver launched the stamp series at Stirling Castle, the historical home of the Stewarts.
He said the Stewart monarchy was a fascinating period of Scottish history, with “many dramatic characters and events”.
The house of Stewart stamps include portraits of James I to VI, as well as Scotland’s most famous Queen.
It is the first time Mary, who was executed in 1587 at the age of 44, has appeared on a Royal Mail stamp.”
