The British Linen Bank — technically a chartered bank rather than a linen company by the twentieth century, despite the name — issued this note during a span that runs directly through the Second World War. Scottish banknotes of this period carried a particular practical significance: the wartime Emergency Powers legislation gave the Treasury tighter oversight of the English clearing banks, but Scottish chartered banks retained their note-issuing rights under separate legal footing, making their paper a minor but real assertion of institutional independence.
Waterlow & Sons produced the series in London. The watermark is the sole security feature on record for P#158, which is thin by the standards of the period even for a high-denomination Scottish note.
