These notes above were a Christmas present and are quite exciting. They are 5 and 10 pound notes from 2016 and both have the same serial number which makes them collectable how ever there is also a print error in the 10 pound note
on the front of the £5 note is the bank's old headquarters in Edinburgh and Sir Walter Scott whereas the reverse has a picture from "brig o' doon" . "Brig" is scots for bridge and this bridge from Ayrshire in Scotland, is the setting for the burn's poem "Tam o' Shanter"
The £10 note has a similar front view to the £5 note but the reverse has the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The viaduct has been featured in many films including some of the Harry Potter films.
