| Opmerkingen |
The Union Bank of Scotland's higher denominations from this period occupy an awkward transitional position: the bank was absorbed by the Bank of Scotland in 1955, making this among the last issues under the Union Bank name before that merger concluded. A £100 note in early 1950s Scotland was a serious commercial instrument, not retail currency — these moved between businesses, solicitors, and clearing houses, rarely touching ordinary hands.
Waterlow & Sons had been printing Scottish commercial bank notes for decades by this point, and their intaglio work on high-value issues was consistently reliable. The merger with Bank of Scotland the year after this series closed meant redemption and withdrawal were handled briskly, which limits surviving population considerably.
