Your snappy message. This web site contains a collection of Scottish Banknotes, because of the rarity and price of older notes most of the notes in my collection are from 1960 onwards. Apart from being a good investment for the future it also server as a good insight into the history of banking in Scotland. At best I intend to complete my Banknote collection from 1900 to the present day, so keep an eye on the latest news page. Scotland boasts one of the longest traditions of issuing paper currency.
All Scottish notes are redeemable irrespective of age.
Even if a bank no longer trades today its responsibility for honoring notes has been assumed by the bank which subsequently acquired it. Banks have been operating in Scotland since the late 1690's. In the 300 years since, many banks have started and most , even where they failed, have been absorbed by other banks. We are now In the 21st Century and there are just three banks issuing notes in Scotland. The Bank of Scotland, the Clydesdale Bank and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
