i cant remember the link of where i found the information but it was buried deep in Gov BOE text. due to Scotland not having a legal tender they still remain on a barter system, there was a court case here in Kdy about a second hand shop keeper refusing to barter for furniture with a customer. the customer won the case.

you may use notes in daily life but they are worthless just like everything you own unless you want to trade it for some sheep.
Can you barter with Haggis ?
ps I have always used money when I have been to Scotland !
