Launched back in the ‘60s, one of Edinburgh’s many businesses was once a women-only bank.
Men weren’t allowed through the doors, and they weren’t working behind the counter either. While it all sounds pretty progressive for the time, footage from British Pathé filmed at the time details the bank's furnishings and highlights women opening up their 'financial heart' may be slightly outdated.
One of the women featured in the film, Margaret Reid, was the manager at the bank and the first woman in Scotland to hold such a position.
