G. Waterston & Sons handled Bank of Scotland's printing needs for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, keeping production entirely in Edinburgh at a time when many Scottish banks were quietly outsourcing to English security printers. The £100 denomination was never a note of everyday commerce — at that value it moved between merchants, law firms, and estate agents, rarely touching ordinary hands.
Four signature periods across four decades is a long run for a single Pick number, reflecting the note's conservative design continuity rather than any reissue event. The McNeill period is listed as specimen only, suggesting regular issue may have been suspended or extremely limited during those years.
