They are not legal tender...............even in Scotland. The same goes for Irish notes. They are promissory notes.

For example, Scottish bank notes are not legal tender in England (or indeed in Scotland as it has no law of legal tender). They may be accepted as legal tender and usually are, as the banks will accept them. But they can be legally refused unlike a Bank of England note. Scots law requires acceptance of any reasonable means of payment. Currency and Banknotes Act 1954 made the Bank of England ten-shilling and £1 note legal tender in Scotland between 1954 and 1988.

I have to say that I did not know that. Having said that I suspect that many others have the same lack of knowledge, as I have never been refused by anyone upon passing it on.

As long as they have the word 'Sterling' on them they are accepted by English banks.
