I'm a Scotsman but ashamed to admit that Scottish pounds are only useful in Scotland. We were allowed to hold on to this little bit of identity to appease us but they are a waste of time. Big mistake coming over to Thailand with Scottish notes.

Scottish pound notes are only legal tender in the UK and even then in England , with the exception of places like Blackpool, they will not be accepted. Big mistake as previous poster stated.

I have seen Scottish notes refused in England but it is illegal. They are acceptable and must be accepted.

Th Bank of Ayutthaya claim to be able to change any currency accepted by the World Bank. However that does not necessarily mean all variations of a single currency. A Scottish Pound is just a UK pound. So I think thwy will not change it. If anybody will change the currency it will certainly not be over the counter.

It is worth trying Bank Ayutthaya, but explain first what it is you are trying to exchange.

Other than that you need to find someone who is going back to the UK to change it for you.

Big Jimmy, I exchanged a considerable amount of Scots notes over bar counters in London over the weekend - did not get a very good exchange rate at 1 pint for £3.10!

English retailers will no longer be accepting Scottish notes. The exchange rate is the lowest it has been since William Wallace was hung, drawn and turned into Mel Gibson.

Retailers have been taking the hit for years now to aid tourism from across the wall. Now it has to stop.

Retail Grocer, Ranjit Singh of Southall said "We built a wall to keep them out and all they do now is climb over it and come down and change their funny money for valuable goods such as pancakes, pies, porridge and 6 packs of Tenants Super. When I put the money in the bank I lose 20 pence on every pound. This can't continue. The government needs to put a stop to this foreign invasion right now."

Publican Paddy O'Grady, had this to say. "Last week I had a horde of them in here. They were only drinking top grade beers such as Harp Lager and Guinness that us local natives cannot afford to buy. One drinker, after consuming his sixteenth lager chaser complained about the small Scotch measures in England and the pissy taste of the lager. When I protested that the measures were governed by English law he asked me if I knew what a Glaswegian kiss was.

When they had finished in my bar they had the cheek to pay with their Scottish beer vouchers saying that each one was worth one English Pound."

Apparently they pulled the same stunt in the Afghani bar along the road.

Cases such as these have caused the English Prime Minister (Gordon Brown) to clamp down.

All retail establishments are being issued with signs such as:

NO FUNNY MONEY HERE.
I have an arrangement with my bank.
I do not exchange currency and he does not sell beer.
