The "Famous Scots" issue of the £10 note featuring missionary Mary Slessor was introduced in 1997. Scottish banknotes are not withdrawn in the same manner as Bank of England notes, and therefore several different versions of the Clydesdale ten pound note may be encountered. The £10 note is currently the second smallest denomination of banknote issued by the Clydesdale Bank. Scottish banknotes are fully backed such that holders have the same level of protection as those holding genuine Bank of England notes. Though strictly not legal tender in Scotland, Scottish banknotes are nevertheless legal currency and are generally accepted throughout the United Kingdom. The issuing of banknotes by Scottish banks was regulated by the Banknote (Scotland) Act 1845 until it was superseded by the Banking Act 2009. Early banknotes were monochrome, and printed on one side only. The Clydesdale Bank began issuing £10 notes in 1838, the same year as the bank's founding. The current polymer note, first issued in 2017, bears an image of Scottish poet Robert Burns on the obverse and a vignette of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh on the reverse. It is the second smallest denomination of banknote issued by the Clydesdale Bank. The Clydesdale Bank £10 note, also known informally as a tenner, is a sterling banknote.
