Hi, I live in Edinburgh and it is true that some notes are issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland, but they have exactly the same value that the ones issued by the Bank of England, just the illustration is a bit bit different (never really paid attention). I am not 100% sure but I think in Scotland and in Wales you can encounter some ?1 notes as well (not the most convenient). Personally I've had many times different kind of notes in my wallet and I never paid attention if they are Scottish or English, since they have the same value. Northen Ireland is part of the UK, so they use the Pound Sterling, like everywhere else in the UK. I've never been so I cannot tell you about the shops at the border. Hope this helps. |

Hi Nel, Thank you for your detailed response. What is a French person doing in Scotland :) ? So, are you saying that both Scotish and English pounds are interchangeable? That would be very likely because after all we are talking about one country. |
