Bank of Scotland unveils new note family featuring bridges
These things just smell too Euroesque to me. Couldn't they come up with
something more original? |

Billy,
I agree. The front is a bit wonky, but the bridges on the backs are very nice indeed. Can't wait to see these notes in person.

I disdain the fronts of the notes, as for the bridges the vignettes of the bridges are okay, but do they have to have the names of the bridge so large? I don't even live in Scotland and the bridges are quite familiar to me, especially the Firth of Forth rail bridge, which is probably the most attractive bridge ever. |

But having just returned from visiting the sweltering and humid East coast, I'll take cool, gray SF any day. |
