The North of Scotland bank with agent's house next door opened in 1838 and is B-listed: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB19913 . It went through various name changes and became the Clydesdale around 1963. More recently, Clydesdale have been especially ruthless in closing rural branches in Scotland and villagers now have to travel to Banff (12 km) or Huntly (15 km) to conduct business.
