Page "Robert the Bruce" Paragraph 85

From 1981 to 1989, Robert the Bruce was portrayed on £ 1 notes issued by the Clydesdale Bank, one of the three Scottish banks with right to issue banknotes.

He was shown on the obverse crowned in battle dress, surrounded by thistles, and on the reverse in full battle armour in a scene from the Battle of Bannockburn.

When the Clydesdale Bank discontinued £ 1 banknotes, Robert The Bruce's portrait was moved onto the bank's £ 20 banknote in 1990 and it has remained there to date.
