5 Pounds North of Scotland Bank

The North of Scotland & Town & County Bank was formed in 1908 through the merger of the North of Scotland Bank and the Town and County Bank, and this 1910 note is among the earliest issues under the combined name — the ink barely dry on the amalgamation when these were put into circulation. Bradbury Wilkinson's involvement is worth noting: the firm had by this period refined intaglio printing to a level that made their Scottish commercial bank work some of the most technically consistent of the era, with tight line engraving that held up well against wear.

The bank itself was eventually absorbed into the Clydesdale Bank in 1950, ending a distinct Aberdeen-based issuing tradition that stretched back to 1836.
