| Opmerkingen |
The North of Scotland Banking Company was founded in Aberdeen in 1836 — the same year this note was issued — making this among the earliest paper the bank ever produced. Scottish free banking was still operating at full stretch in the 1830s, with dozens of provincial banks issuing their own notes under minimal regulatory constraint, and the North of Scotland was a late entrant into that competitive field.
The bank survived until 1908, when it was absorbed by the Clydesdale Bank. Notes from its founding year are rarely encountered; early Aberdeen-printed issues suffered heavy attrition in active circulation across the northeast Highlands trade routes.
