Do Glasgow airport ATMs dispense English or Scottish banknotes?

    Odd post - what does it matter? lol
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Try spending Scottish banknotes abroad and you'll find out why it matters

    I wanted to know because I am flying abroad from Glasgow on a Friday and I get paid on a Friday. I usually take £200 in English notes for emergencies and because my pay will be paid into my bank account that day the easiest will be to withdraw it from an ATM at the airport to save going to my bank branch and asking for English notes. If I was just going to England I would take Scottish notes. The ice cream man in England soon took my Scottish £10 note when I said OK then here's your ice cream back.

  • I've never had any problems spending my Scottish notes in England. I even spent a pound note there in Falmouth a couple of months ago. I was very impressed that they took it! I even spent a pile of Gibralter pounds in a corner shop in Glasgow when I was a poor student! Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe I look like a big Braveheart type person who isn't to be messed with.

    It's not England that matters. Anywhere overseas at best you will get a poorer exchange rate for Scottish notes and more likely refused altogether.

    Try spending English bank notes abroad, and you get the same problem. What you need to do is E-X-C-H-A-N-G-E them for their currency, works a treat ;)
