The North of Scotland Bank Limited was absorbed into the Clydesdale Bank in 1950, which makes notes from this final decade of independent issue the last of their kind from Aberdeen. High-denomination Scottish provincial notes from this period circulated almost exclusively between commercial clients and other banks — retail use of a £100 note in 1940s Scotland was essentially nonexistent.
De La Rue's production records for wartime Scottish bank contracts are incomplete, and it is not always possible to determine whether specific printings within the 1938–1949 date range were delivered before or after the disruptions of 1940–41.
