In 1956 the apprentice engraver

of this note - W. H. EGAN

decided to add his name to the

reverse side of this banknote.

You can find it upside down and

in very small letters in the

cobblestones under the

Glasgow Bank building.

~~~~~~~~~

in 1989 Egan returned to the

Royal Bank of Scotland branch

and confessed to the engraving

of his name W. H. EGAN on the

reverse of the £1 banknote.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Until that time no one had spotted

this addition to the note !

~~~~~~~~~~~

This note continued being printed

with W. H. EGAN name  (hidden)

until the change in design in 1967.
