Money

That was quite a surprise when a perfectly ordinary cash mashine in Edinburgh discharged perfectly unusual money to me on my second day in Scotland. I was aware that there was such a thing as 'Scottish pounds', because Mrtoes gave me a Scottish fiver for good luck before I left; but it was still a shock to find out just how many kinds there were around. There are three banks which print money in Scotland: Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank, and as far as I've seen Clysedale Bank's are the most adventurous and appealing. The collection below is not at all complete, but I will keep adding to it! Below, fellow geeks, are mainly examples from Bank of Scotland's Tercentary Series and one from the Bridges of Scotland by the same bank. Geeks unite! p.s. photographing money in public is a sure way of embarassing any Brits in the immediate vicinity.

A tribute to whisky!

Yup, it's the Harry Potter viaduct... But it was around before the unfortunate trend, and will stand when it's forgotten.

I like how many women there are on the Bank of Scotland banknotes!

Aah, personal favourite.

And some more from The Royal Bank of Scotland:
