The film The Edge of the World (1937) is based on the real life (1930) evacuation of "Hirta" one of the Outer Hebrides islands that forms St Kilda). The film was made on another island Foula. Not much philately, but in the film we see the Post Office and a letter plays a prominent role in the story. St Kilda is much better known today for its "stamps" or carriage labels. http://www.gm3vlb.com/qsls_stamps/im...kilda_gm5k.jpg http://www.gm3vlb.com/qsls_stamps/im...kilda_gm5k.jpg http://i4.ebayimg.com/03/s/000/77/3d/6f18_2.JPG http://i9.ebayimg.com/06/s/000/77/3d/6f25_2.JPG http://i16.ebayimg.com/03/s/000/77/3d/6f07_2.JPG Some GB stamps have also shown St Kilda. http://worldheritage.heindorffhus.dk...and-medium.jpg Birds of St Kilda http://worldheritage.heindorffhus.dk...-set-small.jpg There is also a record album related to St Kilda mails. http://www.musicweb-international.co...04/gillies.jpg Blair |

Hi Rodney: I believe that the first settlers in St Kilda (Aus) had roots in St Kilda , Scotland. BTW what is the big fuss over your cricket teams? http://www.footystamps.com/images/Cr...G/b_crifdc.jpg Sounds like some shenanigans going in Sydney. http://www.footystamps.com/images/Cr...cr_met_scg.jpg What happened at the test match with India? http://www.cricketstamp.net/200a%20A...LD%20C UP.jpg http://www.cricketstamp.net/215%20IN...SOCIAITION.jpg Blair |

Which is referred to as footy? Is is AR? or all. Blair |

BTW what is the big fuss over your cricket teams? A case of the "Ugly Australian" raising it's head, I side fully with the Indians, the match in question was disgraceful, Once we had "statesmen" as our cricket captains, now we have gum chewing, obscenity mouthing person who just happens to be an outstanding batsman. One player was caught, he knew he had hit the ball but did not "walk", and went on to make 162. Cricket is not only a game of skill, but a game of character and that was sadly missing. If you don't think it matters, one only has to coach the youngsters and see how bad behaviour flows as example. (My opinion only |

Here is a cover showing the Australian stamp issued for St Kilda's
Football Club. http://www.footystamps.com/images/20...er/b_strh1.jpg talking about statesmen, well that cover shows an out and out champion of the game someone we would all aspire to emulate. By the way, I know that rugby, soccer and Australian rules are all played in Australia. Which is referred to as footy? Is is AR? or all. Blair Not sure I can answer that Blair, old street venacular would have Aussie rules as "footy" and football as "Soccer", but football is becoming very popular now and there would be strong arguments for and against. Personally, speaking to an Englishman, or Italian or Thai, I would use football, and to an Aussie, soccer Running it past my 13yo, "footy" per se, at school, always means the "prune" or the oval ball. |

"Blair BTW what is the big fuss over your cricket teams? BTW Blair, we shall be watching with interest tomorrow, if our 13yo hits 20 runs or more, without dismissal, he will be on a higher batting average than the legendary Sir Donald Bradman at 99.67 IIRC. (we did fudge a little, for the avg for seniors, who must have completed 20 innings Cody is currently on 91 (guess) Andy Roberts (west indies) bowling to a classic field. http://cjoint.com/data/bshv7Rmig1.htm |

For people interested in philatelic films, Howard Summers wrote a slim
volume called "The Philatelic Filmography" (http:// www.rosland.freeserve.co.uk/book.htm). I own a copy, and can recommend it. It's available for a few pounds from the author at the site linked to above. - Joshua McGee http://www.mcgees.org On Jan 16, 7:28 am, "Blair (TC)" wrote: The film The Edge of the World (1937) is based on the real life (1930) evacuation of "Hirta" one of the Outer Hebrides islands that forms St Kilda).
