Right handed
The vast majority of Scottish bank tellers over the last 70 to 80 years
have been right handed. How do I know this is true? Billy |

Cause the counting flicks are usually on the left hand side of the note.
Besides, Marster woulda slapped you senseless if they saws you counting or writing with your left hand. Dave -- Tir nam Beann, nan Gleann, s'nan Gaisgeach - Saor Alba A-Nis!

The counting flicks are usually on the RIGHT hand side of the note,
indicating they were counter by a right hander, and on older notes there's commonly a dirty area at the top right corner, fingers must have got very dirty handling the coins of the period.

Strangely enough, in my early (Norwegian) banking career I was a teller, and
tellers usually were taught to count with the left hand. That way, counting wore you out on the left hand, writing or using adding or book-keeping machinery wore out your right hand, so it all balanced out.

That sounds like a good idea.
I once visited a lady, around 1995, that had a quantity of Scottish £20 notes from the 50's and 60's that had belonged to her father, unfortunately her father had been a coal man and judging by the amount of coal dust at the top right corner of the notes he counted them regularly, with his right hand.
