A genuine Royal Bank of Scotland £5 note, featuring Lord Ilay on the obverse and Culzean Castle on the reverse — one of Scotland’s most recognisable historic landmarks.

Scottish banknotes have always differed in design from Bank of England issues and remain a popular area of collecting due to their regional identity and distinctive artwork. This paper £5 note represents an era before polymer issues became standard and is now collected primarily for nostalgia, design, and Scottish heritage, rather than rarity.
