| Anmerkungen |
The North of Scotland Banking Company was established in Aberdeen in 1836 — the same year this note was issued — making early examples from this series effectively inaugural paper from a newly chartered institution. Scottish free banking was still operating under its pre-1845 framework at this point, meaning the bank could issue notes largely on its own terms before the Bank Notes (Scotland) Act imposed tighter constraints on new issuers.
Twenty-pound notes from Scottish provincial banks of this period rarely circulated in any meaningful volume. The denomination was a commercial instrument, moving between merchants and agents rather than through everyday trade. Survival rates reflect that: handled rarely, but not always carefully stored.
The bank was eventually absorbed by Clydesdale Bank in 1950 after 114 years of independent operation.
