Just checking prices of Pounds on the Internet and noticed a place selling English pounds for 49.75, but Scottish Pounds for 49.00, surely it is a good deal to buy Scottish Pounds, as they are of the same value, although not widely accepted in England the Banks must change them 1 for 1.

Ironic really, when Scotland had the first Bank in history............

dam_n I thought it was some Haggis and a bit of Peat if you bought 100 Pounds

Best to get your Scottish pounds from a bank in Scotland....then you won't get ripped off by...we...no doubt a bunch of cockneyed wideboys.

Innit?

Its simply not true by the way to suggest they cannot be used in England. I have never had a note refused....but I keep my Skean Dhu hand in case of any perceived slight.

Do the Scottish Pounds have a picture of Mel Gibson on them instead of the Queen?

You'd have trouble changing this even in Edinburgh....

A couple more just fyi....

The new issue is the ones with the Bridges on if I am correct.

If you get stuck with them and try to change them to say HK dollars you might get 80% of the rate for Igurlish notes even if they accept them . I have stopped bringing Scottish notes east for this reason . Nice crisp Bank o' Ingurlan 20's every time .

Just try giving them to a BG as they will think you are a BG from Scotland wearing those fancy skirts and stockings
