The Bank of Scotland issued a polymer banknote in the year 2021 is part of the bank’s 2007 Bridges Series.

The face continues to feature the standard portrait of Scottish novelist and poet, Sir Walter Scott and the headquarters of the Bank of Scotland, known as The Mound, in Edinburgh. Whereas the other denominations each carry images of traditional bridges on the back, this one has a view of a boat “bridge,” the world’s first and only rotating boat lift, the Falkirk Wheel.

In addition to the new note is an image of a pair of 300-ton horse’s heads representing mythological water spirits known as kelpies. They are included to recognize the contribution of horses to the history of Scotland.
