| Opmerkingen |
The Douglas Bank Company was one of several small Scottish provincial banks that flourished briefly in the early nineteenth century before the consolidation wave of the 1820s and 1830s swept most of them out of existence. Operating out of Lanarkshire, it never achieved the scale or longevity of the Edinburgh or Glasgow houses, and its note issues were correspondingly limited in volume.
Survivors from 1811 are genuinely uncommon. Provincial Scottish notes of this period suffered high attrition — redeemed, cancelled, or simply lost as the issuing banks folded and record-keeping deteriorated.
