The Union Bank of Scotland Ltd. was absorbed into the Bank of Scotland in 1955 after a merger that ended its independent note-issuing rights — notes from the early 1900s therefore represent one of the final decades of the Union Bank operating as a fully autonomous issuer. Founded in 1830 through the amalgamation of several regional Scottish banks, it maintained Edinburgh as its headquarters throughout.
Scottish commercial banks retained the legal right to issue their own notes under arrangements dating to well before the Bank Charter Act of 1844, which applied differently north of the border. That regulatory carve-out is precisely why a private joint-stock bank could still be printing its own pound notes in 1903.
