About MeThis is an unissued proof note from the archive of the London printing firm of Perkins, Bacon and Company. It bears the name of the North of Scotland Banking Company which was established in Aberdeen in 1836. The North of Scotland was the largest of the Aberdeen-based banks. It was authorised to issue notes to a total of £154319, a considerably higher sum than that of the North Bank's eventual partner, the Clydesdale Bank.

Printed on black on a cream ground while the notes which were issued for circulation by the bank (which were dated 1871) had detail in green as well as black. One of Aberdeen's best known buildings, King's College, forms a vignette at the top centre.
