You are correct. It isn't legal tender.
Just search on the bank of england website and you'll find this:
quote:
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.

To me,English notes are dodgy looking.
Probably because im used to Scottish notes.That probably is 100% why English people think Scottish notes look dodgy.
Its not rocket science to understand that if you aren't familiar with something,your going to be rather wary of it.
Get a fuking grip of yourselves ffs.

I dont wish to alarm you but I would get the notes checked out, there was a big scam in the north west were Scottish fake notes were being used as it's obviously not the usually note we look at.
It was mainly targeted to food chains (paying in £20's for a small meal to gain English currency back) but I'd question why someone from Liverpool would have that much in Scottish notes?
(just wanting to make sure you haven't been done mate...)

I did this once when I worked at the Co-op. Got a full on lecture from some Scottish bloke about how the Bank of England was founded by Scots or something. Wasn't really interested, just wanted him to shut up as I had a queue

In short, you can be refused sale. But they can refuse sale with ANY notes Oh, and in short, yes, it is legal tender. In Scotland. Where the poster of that comment is from.
