| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue and red on white paper, with an elaborate border of fine guilloche work enclosing the entire design. Three oval vignettes arranged vertically along the left margin contain allegorical figures and ornamental motifs, while two circular medallions at upper left and upper right bear the numeral "1". The Royal Arms of Scotland with lion and unicorn supporters is centrally placed at the top, surmounted by the charter inscription, with the bank name in bold letterpress script dominating the central field above the promise-to-pay legend and the denomination "One Pound" in red overprint. The place and date of issue appear below the serial numbers, with two manuscript signatures and printed officer titles at the foot, and the printer's imprint of Waterlow & Sons, London, along the bottom edge. |
