Different varieties of wild haggis.

You and @Gloster, upthread -- should go into business jointly, as banknote-designers -- your ideas are inspired; but, alas, not the right answers.

Castles?

 

[Calthrop]

Regretfully -- not castles.

 

[Loppylugs]

Kilts depicting different clans.

 

[Calthrop]

Not kilts. Possibly "clear-as-mud" attempted hint -- other-side (from the famous ladies) subject, is indeed a common theme -- the various "that which depicted": found in Scotland, but not specifically / uniquely Scottish.

Nope -- see post #34,314.

Universities?

 

[Ashley Hill]

Scottish inventors?

 

[Calthrop]

@xotGD, re universities -- again, no.

Scottish inventors?

@OhNoAPacer and you, the nearest so far re one side of the notes -- he, closer than you. I feel that this question isn't likely to go much further -- see "drawing stumps" say tomorrow afternoon (Sun.), unless things go otherwise between now and then.

Reverse of the £5 note are mackerel
Reverse of the £10 note are otters.

Not sure if I've got the right bank.

Correct re reverse of notes -- you indeed have the right bank (RBS). This bids fair to get complicated, as to who wins !

 

[Calthrop]

Further thoughts -- am reckoning on, after all, "prolonging the agony" for all of today (Sun.), hoping for perhaps further developments. @Xenophon PCDGS -- I suppose you can't tell us what creature is depicted on the reverse of the £20 note? If that could be so, I feel that we'd have what could be called a level playing field.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I can only suggest that it may be Kate Cranston on the front of the £20 note. I am at a loss to say what is on the reverse of that note,

It would be best of either of the two thread contributors who were being considered before my late entry into the fray set the next conundrum.
