| Anmerkungen |
The Union Bank of Scotland was absorbed into the Bank of Scotland in 1955, but this series predates that merger by decades — issued across a long span that covers the interwar depression, the Second World War, and the postwar austerity period. Waterlow & Sons handled the printing throughout, a London firm that also supplied notes to dozens of colonial and foreign issuers during the same years.
Scottish commercial bank notes of this period circulated as legal currency under a framework that required backing by Bank of England notes or gold, a requirement tightened by the 1845 Bank Notes (Scotland) Act and still operative across this entire issue span.
