| Obverse description | The face is printed in tones of green and lilac, with the bank name in bold letterpress across the top and sterling denomination numerals at upper left and right. A large oval guilloche panel occupies the left portion, left blank as a space for the serial number below. The central text block carries the promise-to-pay obligation, the date 'Edinburgh, 3rd January, 1961', and a manuscript signature above the title 'General Manager'. At the lower centre, the bank's heraldic arms vignette — flanked by supporters and surmounted by a crest — anchors the composition, with the denomination legend 'Five Pounds' in a solid panel beneath. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single tone of green and presents a detailed scenic vignette of the Forth Railway Bridge spanning the Firth of Forth, with a steam vessel passing beneath the cantilever spans and a tree-lined shore visible to the right. The bank name runs in a straight legend across the top, with denomination figures '£5' at upper right and lower left corners. The printer's imprint appears in small text at the foot of the note. |
