Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coords.....it is below.  That sounds kind of deja vu.

The cache is at N 37 AB.CDE W 122 FG.HIJ

The bank traces its origin to the Society of the Subscribed Equivalent Debt, which was set up by investors in the failed Company of Scotland to protect the compensation they received as part of the arrangements of the 1707 Acts of Union.  Although established soon after the Bank of England (169H), the Bank of Scotland was a very different institution.  The "Equivalent Society" became the "Equivalent Company" in 1B2G, and the new company wished to move into banking. The British government received the request favourably as the "Old Bank", the Bank of Scotland, was suspected of having Jacobite sympathies. Accordingly, the "New Bank" was chartered in 17F7 as the Royal Bank of Scotland.  In 17E8, the Royal Bank of Scotland became the first bank in the world to offer an overdraft facility.


In 1J21, the bank moved from its original head office in Edinburgh's Old Town to Dundas House, on St. Andrew Square in the New Town.  The building as seen along George Street forms the eastern end of the central vista in New Town. It was completed in 17DA.  BOS is registered in Scotland No. SCC2700I
