The Royal Bank of Scotland and their parent The Royal Bank of Scotland Group are completely separate from fellow Edinburgh based bank, Bank of Scotland, which pre-dates the Royal Bank of Scotland by 32 years. The Bank of Scotland was effective in raising funds for the Jacobite Rebellion and as a result, The Royal Bank of Scotland was established to provide a bank with strong unionist ties.
