| Comments |
The Royal Bank of Scotland retained the right to issue its own banknotes under the provisions dating back to its founding charter of 1727, a privilege that survived every attempt at UK-wide standardization. This 1 Pound series bridges the Ballantyne and Robertson chief accountant tenures, which is why two distinct signature combinations exist across the date range — the signatures reflect internal administrative succession, not reissue decisions.
Johnston & Bacon, though primarily known as cartographic printers, handled Scottish commercial note production for decades from their Edinburgh operation.
