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.

Where does the quotation And so good Capulet which name I tender come from?
It's from Act 3 Scene 1 of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. Romeo says it. The full quotation is "And so, good Capulet, whose name I tender as dearly as my own, be satisfied." Romeo is talking to Tybalt who just called him a villain and challenged him to a duel. Romeo tells him he doesn't want to fight. The word "tender" here means "submit", like you would tender payment for something, or put in a tender for a job, or pay someone with legal tender. Romeo is saying to Tybalt that he has nothing against Capulets, whose name he holds as dearly as his own name Montague, so he hopes Tybalt will not press him to fight.

Is the Scottish Pound note still legal currency?
No, Scottish banknotes never were legal tender, and Scotland is the only place where they will be accepted. The currency of Scotland is the Pound Sterling (GBP). All Scottish banks have the right to produce their own banknotes, but only three do. Strangely, all Scottish banknotes are not legal tender anywhere including Scotland. They have more of the standing of a promissory note (in Scotland) and there is a strange legal loop hole in Scottish law that allows this to occur, fortunately. This is simply wrong. Scottish and Northern Ireland banknotes should be accepted within the UK but if accepted outside Scotland, they are returned by UK banks to Scotland. The fact that many have the word "sterling" on them is the biggest clue here. I have frequently spent Scottish currency in England.
