Royal Bank of Scotland is only one of three Scottish banks which print banknotes. Both of the other two banks have had non-royal women on their banknotes before. <br /><br />[In fairness to RBS, its current banknotes have their first governor on one side, and castles, not people, on the other.]<br /><br />Bank of Scotland currently feature bridges on their banknotes (and Sir Walter Scott on the other sides of each). In their previous issue, they had designs featuring various generic people (illustrating golf, science, distilling whiskey, etc) many of which were women, including the scientist.<br /><br />Clydesdale Bank had a missionary, Mary Slessor, on its £10 note in its previous series [I confess that for years I thought it was a picture of a man, oops]. On its current £50 note it features Elsie Inglis, suffragist. That note even has a little "votes for women" placard in the design.<br /><br />In case you haven't guessed, I work in a bank in Scotland. ;)Gemmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-28416653757619966782016-02-27T19:55:14.168-05:002016-02-27T19:55:14.168-05:00ladyhawthorne ~ Wow, that was NOT what I intended!...ladyhawthorne ~ Wow, that was NOT what I intended! That link should have led to a review of a new exhibition of portraits at the Museum of the City of New York, with plenty of reproductions of the paintings. Alas, somewhere along the line the internet address must have changed (which happens more than it should.) Since I can't now find the original article, I've deleted the link entirely.
