Flush Scots are about to land another plastic banknote in their wallets - but this one might seem more recognisable than most.

Following on from last month's Royal Bank of Scotland reveal of their new £10 polymer note, Clydesdale Bank have now announced the re-design of their own offering.

While RBS went for midges, mackerel and Mary Somerville, Clydesdale have stuck with good old Robert Burns.

At first glance, the old and new Clydesdale tenner looks pretty much the same, but there are a few gems 'spot the difference' fans might like to know.

Other than being smaller, sturdier, and more dirt resistant, the new £10 polymer note has a few new sparkly additions.

Now in circulation, the biggest 'spot' for note fans and collectors will be the serial numbers imprinted on the notes.

At the release of the first polymer £5 note last year, many collectors were after notes starting with 'AA01' from the very first batch.

And it is likely that collectors will be after notes from the first batch again this year.

Lorna McMillan, company secretary of CYBG, owner of Clydesdale Bank, said: "More durable and more secure than normal paper notes, the move towards polymer is an important milestone in our history of innovation.

"We have been issuing banknotes since 1838 and it's just as vital as ever to ensure we are creating and developing currency that is fit for modern-day use."

Serial numbers '25 011759' and '21 071796' are also likely to prove popular among collectors, as they are the birth date and death date of Robert Burns respectively.

One eBay seller managed to sell an 'AA01' £5 English bank note for £227 last year.

This note will include a Spark Orbital security feature made on innovative Safeguard polymer substrate, a shiny ink which is depicted in the shape of Scotland over a transparent window, which changes colour as the note is moved and tilted.

This feature is set to be in a deep burnished gold.

A tactile feature is also being introduced for the first time on the note and is a series of raised dots in the bottom left-hand corner of the £10 polymer bank note.

RBS announced a similar design in their new notes last month.

Bank notes are already in tiered sizes, and have bold numerals, raised print and differing colours to help blind and partially sighted people.

The bard is back! The note has Robert Burns on the front and also features scenes from the Old and New towns of Edinburgh as before.

This time though, there is a delicately sketched added tribute to Scotland's poet on the note - a small inkwell and feather quill dedicated to his art.

This is one noticeable difference - the mad dashing Tam o' Shanter from Robert Burn's poem has galloped off without an appearance on the new note.

The famous character has been replaced instead with some of the tall vaulted archways known to Edinburgh's old town.

Instead of Tam's horse Meg, we have a more modern mode of transportation on the new note - one of the Edinburgh Trams, seen in front of the imposing Gothic Scott Monument on Princes Street.

It is the largest monument to a writer in the world.

As well as the structure, the landscape of the old and new towns of Edinburgh continue to feature on the new note also, though from a different vista.

As well as keeping the Edinburgh landmarks, the bank say they were very keen to continue to feature Robert Burns, the world famous Scots poet who died 221 years ago today.

David Duffy, chief executive of CYBG, said: "I am proud to announce that our second polymer bank note will be available in our branches on September 21. The introduction of our £5 polymer bank note has led to a reduction in counterfeit levels and had a positive impact on the environment, and we believe the £10 version will have a same effect.

"More durable and more secure than normal paper notes, the move towards polymer is an important milestone in our history of innovation. We have been issuing banknotes since 1838 and it's just as vital as ever to ensure we are creating and developing currency that is fit for modern-day use."

The new £10 RBS bank note is due to hit circulation on October 4.
