Scottish money is legal tender in England.

as long as its sterling its legal.

people tend not to take Scottish money is because they are dubious of forgery's as these notes are not usually seen that often

Are Scottish & Northern Irish notes legal tender?
In short ‘No’ these notes are not legal tender; only Bank of England notes are legal tender but only in England and Wales.
The term legal tender does not in itself govern the acceptability of banknotes in transactions. Whether or not notes have legal tender status, their acceptability as a means of payment is essentially a matter for agreement between the parties involved. Legal tender has a very narrow technical meaning in relation to the settlement of debt. If a debtor pays in legal tender the exact amount he owes under the terms of a contract, he has good defence in law if he is subsequently sued for non-payment of the debt. In ordinary everyday transactions, the term ‘legal tender’ has very little practical application. whilst not `legal tender` they are aceppted as they are stirling and thus can be banked - as can gurnsey/jersey/NI and manx pounds
