There were a number of mints in Scotland, for the production of the Scottish coinage. The most important mint was in the capital, Edinburgh, which was active from the reign of David I (1124–1153), and was the last to close, in the 19th century. In 1581 the mint in Edinburgh was relocated to the environs of Cardinal David Beaton's lodging, which then belonged to Archibald Stewart. The buildings became the property of the mint master Thomas Acheson. The site, near the Cowgate, is now commemorated by the street name "Coinyie House Close".

  • There were a number of mints in Scotland, for the production of the Scottish coinage. The most important mint was in the capital, Edinburgh, which was active from the reign of David I (1124–1153), and was the last to close, in the 19th century. Carlisle was probably the first Scottish mint in 1136. According to Bateson, David I began to mint coins after capturing the city. Mints at Bamburgh and Corbridge in Northumberland, under the control of David's son Henry, Earl of Northumberland, later returned to English control. Under Alexander III (1249–1286) there were 16 mints. In the reign of James IV (1488–1513), the sole mint was located at Edinburgh. After this time, the only other active mint was at Stirling, where bawbees were minted under Queen Mary. In 1581 the mint in Edinburgh was relocated to the environs of Cardinal David Beaton's lodging, which then belonged to Archibald Stewart. The buildings became the property of the mint master Thomas Acheson. The site, near the Cowgate, is now commemorated by the street name "Coinyie House Close". Minting ceased in Scotland in 1709 when the Edinburgh Mint produced its last batch of coins at the end of the 1707–1710 Scottish recoinage, although it retained its permanent officials (though not other staff) for a further hundred years, until 1814. The mint was finally abolished in 1817 and sold in 1830. The title of 'Governor of the Mint of Scotland', which passed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer under the Coinage Act 1870, was finally abolished with the passing of the Coinage Act 1971. (en)
