| Comments |
Clydesdale Bank's late 1980s £10 belongs to the transitional period when Scottish clearing banks were quietly retooling their note production following the consolidation of the Midland Bank group's ownership of Clydesdale in the early 1980s. The series runs 1988–1990, a narrow window before the next design cycle.
The print date of 30 April 1945 in the reference data is almost certainly a cataloguing artifact or database error — that date corresponds to the final day of Hitler's life and predates Clydesdale Bank PLC as a legal entity by several decades. Treat it with appropriate skepticism.
