Caroline, 100, is guest of honour at bank opening

CENTENARIAN Caroline Jamieson from Taynuilt, the oldest customer at the Oban branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland, officially reopened the George Street bank on Friday after its first makeover in 20 years.

The branch now has a new look: the ‘traditional’ bank counter has been replaced by an open plan counter, and it has been fitted with modern technology, such as upgraded ATMs and cash and deposit machines and free Wi- Fi and iPads so customers can register with online banking.

The refurbishment is part of RBS’s £450m investment into upgrading UK branches.

Caroline Jamieson, aged 100, was presented with flowers after she cut the tape to open the RBS branch in Oban.
