The British Pound or Pound Sterling (GBP) is the major unit of the British currency. Because the British Pound has many hundreds of years of tradition behind it, it is very unlikely that it will cease to be legal tender any time soon.

If you refer to the One Pound note, the One Pound note ceased to be legal tender on the 11th of March, 1988, five years after the introduction of the One Pound coin in 1983.

Is a twenty pound Scottish note legal tender in England?

Yes all Scottish notes are legal tender throughout the UK, that is in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Actually no. Scottish and Northern Irish notes may be used in any part of the UK and as they are marked Sterling, most shops will accept them. They are not legal tender however. Legal tender is a misunderstood term and does not refer to whether money is currency that can be used. Scottish and Northern Irish sterling notes are not legal tender in any part of the UK. No banknote is legal tender in Scotland or N. Ireland in fact! This money is issued by retail banks and is classed as a promissory note not Legal Tender. The expression Legal Tender is to do with debt payment laws and refers to a form of payment that is legally always acceptable. In England and Wales the only legal tender is money issued by the Bank of England and no note is Legal Tender in Scotland or Northern Ireland including their own notes. There is quite a good discussion of this on the Royal Mint banknote site.
