Failures, entweder dumm, knurrisch oder beides, es ist eine Erleichterung, sich an eine Bank zu wenden, die dem Land zuviel war und einen auffälligen Erfolg hatte. Aberdeen war die erste Stadt in Schottland, die nicht die Hauptstadt war, und besaß ein bereits gelobtes Bankunternehmen. Diese erste Aberdeen Bank wurde 1749 gegründet. Im Jahr 1753 hat sie ihr Geschäft abgeschlossen, was vor allem auf die Anfeindungen der Banken in Edinburgh zurückzuführen scheint. 1767 wurde eine neue Bank unter dem alten Namen und mit einem stärkeren Rückhalt errichtet.

In 1753 it wound up its business, owing mainly, it seems, to thehostility of the Edinburgh banks. In 1767 a new bank was foundedunder the old name, and with a stronger backing.
