New plastic £10 note to enter circulation this year and will a real treat for Harry Potter fans
A new Scottish £10 note will enter circulation this year, featuring a great feature for Harry Potter fans, according to Mirror.
The note, made of the same polymer material as the plastic fiver, will help the visually impaired people by featuring dots. The design on the new note will contain the portrait of Scottish novelist and poet, Sir Walter Scott. The image of The Mount will also be preserved.
Much to Harry Potter fans’ delight, an image of the Glenfinnan Viaduct – that appears in four of the Harry Potter movies – will remain on the other side of the note. A steam locomotive hauling a heritage tourist train will be added.

The polymer note, designed by De La Rue, incorporated the enhanced security features of the £5 note. Some of these are the anti-counterfeit “window effect” built into the windows of the image of The Mound and the rolling bar metallic ink which changes colour as you move the note.
“Bank of Scotland has been issuing bank notes for more than 320 years, evolving our designs to pay homage to our heritage,” Mike Moran, director at Bank of Scotland, said. “The new note retains our much-loved design of Sir Walter Scott with the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct pictured on the back and we’ve evolved the design by introducing the popular heritage tourist train crossing the bridge. With polymer notes being cleaner, more secure, and more durable than paper notes I’m sure our new £10 note will prove popular across Scotland.”
The new notes will be a little smaller than the existing paper ones. They’re set to enter circulation in autumn.
