Title: John O'Groats, 1971 [Go to resource]
Description: This tin was first produced 1952 and continued in use until 1969. It differed from this example, in having yellow lettering. This version has white letters and dates from 1971. It is sometimes claimed that the portrait on the lid represents John O'Groats, but the original John O'Groats was Jan de Groot, a Dutchman, who built his famous octagonal house in the reign of James IV (1488 - 1513), supposedly for each of his seven sons and himself in order to prevent quarrels over precedence.
