A lot of places in England, especially southern England, put up a real fight when you present Scottish notes. A Chinese takeaway in Oxford refused to give me the food when I gave them a Scottish £5 note to pay!0 -
I always go to a NATwest machine for mine and always english.
I read somewhere that all airport cah machines are to be dispensing english notes but not sure if it's started.travelover0 -
I have it on good authority that Natwest always dispense Scottish notes
Unfair as it might seem, you will often get a significantly lower exchange rate for Scottish notes abroad. I remember in Tennessee the difference was breathtaking-this was before I discovered MSE!0 -

In Texas I got the same rate with my Scottish notes as I did with my English notes...

The Natwest ATM in Dundee dispenses English notes.
Scottish notes are, sadly, not legal tender, and they can still be awkward for some businesses to exchange, so I can see why OP might want to take soem back up English notes.

I only found out the Natwest ATM recently, it will be handy for slipping a bit of money to nephews when they are visiting from Darn Sarf.:pMember of the first Mortgage Free in 3 challenge, no.19
