Got my first Nan Shepherd note today in my change and very nice it is too. Still not sure I like the feel of these new plastic fivers though.
Lots of people don't like the feel of the new fivers. I usually take them off their hands in return for a shiny one pound coin. Terrible to see people fretting like that.

Nan Shepherd on the £5 note

Violet Jacob for the £10 note

Marion Angus for the £20 note

Any suggestions of a suitable laydee poetess for the £50 note? Duffy and Lochhead are already well represented... so mibbe it's a punch-up between Mitchison and Spark.

There's a really good tradition on puting recognized people on Scottish banknotes. You don't even have to be Scottish (how inclusive is that!). I still have the Jack Nicklaus £5 note. Jack made a huge influence for golf in Scotland. Trump has not!
