Clydesdale Bank's marked this year’s Burns celebrations by signing the Bank’s first £10 polymer note, which features Scotland’s much-loved Bard.

The polymer note will go into production later this year and be ready for circulation in 2017.

The new note will continue to feature Robert Burns on the front, with the reverse displaying views of Edinburgh including the Castle.

After signing the new note Chief Executive Officer David Duffy said: “It’s a very exciting time for Clydesdale Bank and signing the new £10 note featuring Robert Burns underpins our commitment to building a strong stand-alone bank based here in Scotland that can provide a real challenge to the big UK banks.

It’s a privilege to see my signature alongside his portrait.”

Clydesdale Bank is the largest issuer by volume of notes in Scotland. It introduces around £400 million worth of new notes every year.
