The new notes are more rectangular in shape than those of the 1909 design which were almost square. Once again King's College, Aberdeen regains its pride of place in the centre of the note and is accompanied by the coat of arms of the Bank, the City of Aberdeen and the County of Aberdeen. The colour scheme of blue on yellow ground is retained for the £1.
