Two circular medallions occupy the left vertical panel, the upper bearing an equestrian figure of St. George and the lower a foliate ornamental design, separated by a vertical guilloche border. The lower half carries the full promissory text in script and letterpress, with the denomination £20 repeated at lower left and right, two manuscript signature lines for the Governor and Treasurer, and the imprint of G.

Bank of Scotland's mid-century £20 notes occupied an awkward commercial niche — large enough to be impractical for ordinary retail transactions, yet routinely used in Edinburgh's financial and legal exchanges where substantial sums moved between solicitors, agents, and merchant accounts. G. Waterston & Sons handled the printing throughout this series, a Edinburgh firm better known for stationery and bookbinding than for security printing, though their long relationship with the bank predates this issue considerably.
The eighteen-year span of this type reflects wartime disruption to printing schedules rather than any deliberate policy of longevity. Scottish banknotes of this period are notoriously difficult to date precisely from the note alone.
