- Bernera Island or simply Bernera is a tidal island off Lismore, in Argyll, Scotland. Bernera labels were originally made for and approved by the owner of the island, Count Robin de la Lanne-Mirrlees, who owned the island until 2012 upon his passing. The printer of those is unknown. These original issues stopped in 1978 which can be recognized by the Bernera flag imprinted on them. Clive Feigenbaum (with permission of the laird) began making bogus labels in 1978 in the name of Bernera and continued to produce them through 2000. Only a few have the Bernera flag imprinted on them and not in the same way as the older labels. Several sets (Locomotives and Automobiles) were printed by the Format International Security Printers due to Feigenbaum's influence with certain owners at the time and his eventual ownership of the company which ended in the company going bankrupt in 1990. Bernera has easy access to the mainland postal services over a bridge built in 1953 and has never needed local stamps that are used under the rules of what British Local stamp issues are used for. Feigenbaum continued to produce hundreds of bogus labels in the name of Bernera and distribute them to the philatelic market as if they were real British Locals. Many want to call them Cinderella stamps to legitimize and sell them when in reality they are bogus labels created for personal profits. They are not genuine British locals (as some claim) like Lundy Island stamps. Bogus catalogs have even been made to legitimize them. These labels in the name of Bernera were used in a tax shelter scheme in which the defendants were convicted.
