The National Bank of Scotland was established by act of parliament in 1825 — the same year this note was issued — making this among the earliest emissions from that institution. Scottish banks had long exercised the right to issue their own notes, a privilege English banks outside London did not share, and the £100 denomination was almost exclusively a commercial instrument, used for settling accounts between merchants and clearing houses rather than anything approaching retail circulation.
At this level, most examples would have passed through relatively few hands before being cancelled or destroyed. Survivors are rare for that reason alone.
