| Opmerkingen |
The North of Scotland Bank, headquartered in Aberdeen, had operated since 1836 as a regional rival to the Edinburgh-based clearing banks. By 1882 it was one of the smaller Scottish note-issuing banks still asserting that right — a privilege tied to pre-Union banking history that Westminster periodically threatened to curtail but never did during the bank's independent lifetime.
W. & A.K. Johnston were primarily a cartographic and engraving house, and their banknote work was a secondary line. The North of Scotland Bank was absorbed into the Clydesdale Bank in 1950, after which its right of issue lapsed.
