| Comments |
The Royal Bank of Scotland's £100 note of this period occupied a curious position in Scottish circulation — technically legal tender in Scotland but routinely refused by English retailers unfamiliar with Scottish banknote law, a friction that persists to this day. At £100 face value, these saw far more use in commercial and interbank transactions than in everyday trade, meaning heavily worn examples are genuinely uncommon.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility was among the most technically accomplished security printers in the world during this period, responsible for banknotes across dozens of issuing authorities. Their intaglio work on Scottish commercial bank notes of the 1970s is consistently fine.
