Caster sugar is just superfine sugar. It is granulated sugar that has been ground very finely. Because of the superfine consistency the sugar will disolve better when the milk or buttemilk is added and prevent crystallization through the baking process, which can result in a gritty scone texture.

What is the difference between golden caster sugar and plain caster sugar?

For those not familiar with caster sugar, it is called extra fine sugar in the US. Golden caster sugar is naturally refined caster sugar so it has a slightly golden hue because of a bit of molasses due to processing. It is not the same as brown sugar. Brown sugar is white sugar mixed with molasses but it is far stickier because extra molasses has been added. If you can't find golden caster sugar you might try taking turbinado sugar and running it through the food processor.
