备注	The British Linen Bank, despite the textile-trade origins suggested by its name, had been a fully general commercial bank since the late eighteenth century — the linen connection was long defunct by the time this series circulated. Waterlow & Sons printed the notes at their London works, a firm that handled a substantial portion of Scottish commercial bank production during this period alongside their extensive securities and stamp printing contracts. Scottish one-pound notes of this era remained in active daily use in ways English equivalents were not, since the one-pound Bank of England note had been withdrawn from circulation in 1821 and never reinstated. That gap made Scottish pound notes genuinely functional working currency rather than occasional tender.
