are these valid outside of Scotland? i was always under the impression that they were, but upon reading wikipedia* i discovered that they, apparently, are not. however, wikipedia is not exactly the last authority on anything (although it can be rather useful for helping you to study for exams on quantum phenomena...). does anyone know the *truth*, if, indeed, it exists...?

*i wasn't looking up scotland on wikipedia...don't be silly, what were you thinking? that i have exams to study for? meh!

...anywhere south of Carlisle and shopkeepers sometimes stare at the note for several minutes, as if it were a piece of moon rock. Don't think they are legally obliged to accept them.

Its because of the piece of string attached to them, used by the jocks to pull it back out of the till after paying😉

Are Scottish Pounds worth the same as English Pounds? If so, that puts them as being worth 1.74 U.S. dollars by the most recent exchange rate. I'll give you U.S. $2.50 for uncirculated Scottish 1 Pound banknotes.

No, I don't want any real expensive stuff. I'm just interested in uncirculated 1 Pound notes.

Actually, I just did a bit of research and Scottish notes are not legal tender anywhere - even Scotland.

But that apparently doesn't mean they can't be used legally for transactions,

Go figure.
