the tercentenary series of bank of scotland notes was introduced in 1995, and is named for the three hundredth anniversary of the bank's founding, which occurred in that year. each note features a portrait of walter scott on the front. the £100 note has three merging circles on the front (other denominations having different shapes) to aid identification for those with impaired vision. the back features an image of the mound, the location of the bank's headquarters. each denomination also features a rear design reflecting a certain aspect of scottish industry and society. on the £100 note the rear design represents scotland's tourism sector. three symbols appear on the right-hand side of the rear of the note. these are (from top to bottom) pallas, goddess of weaving (symbol of the british linen bank which merged with the bank of scotland in 1971), a saltire with gold bezants (part of the bank's coat of arms), and ship (symbol of the union bank of scotland which merged with the bank of scotland in 1955.
