This is a £1 note with handwritten dates, an unlisted type in the 'Paper Money of Scotland'. This is the first time seen and is in excellent condition for a note issued and circulated over 200 years ago. Montrose Bank opened in 1814 and was taken over 12 years later in 1826 by Dundee Union Bank, then absorbed in 1844 by Western Bank of Scotland. Unfortunately, Western Bank of Scotland also collapsed in 1857,
(PMS MO1a for type), annotation at lower left and reverse, three 'PAID' stamps at obverse, good fine, extremely rare
