The British Linen Company began as a trading company chartered in 1746 to promote the Scottish linen industry, and only gradually converted into a conventional bank — one of the more unusual institutional origins in Scottish banking history. By the time this note was issued, the commercial linen business had long been abandoned, but the name persisted until the Bank of Scotland absorbed the operation in 1969.
Waterlow & Sons held the printing contract for much of the British Linen Bank's late Victorian and Edwardian output. Scottish chartered banks retained the right to issue their own notes under arrangements preserved after the Bank Charter Act of 1844, which explicitly exempted existing Scottish issuers from the monopoly granted to the Bank of England.
