About Scottish Pounds Exchange
The Scottish Pound (GBP) refers to the banknotes issued by Scotland’s three note-issuing banks — the Bank of Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and Clydesdale Bank — all denominated in pounds sterling and legal currency across the UK. We accept all denominations of Scottish banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes, regardless of which bank issued them.
Current Scottish Banknotes
Scotland’s three authorised banks each issue their own distinctive banknotes, from everyday five and ten pound notes up to the Clydesdale Bank £100 and the Royal Bank of Scotland £100. All current notes feature modern security elements including holograms, watermarks, and microprinting, and we accept every denomination across all three issuing banks.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy withdrawn Scottish banknotes going back many decades, including older Royal Bank of Scotland issues such as the 1952 £5 and the 1967 £1, as well as vintage Bank of Scotland notes. We also accept damaged notes provided they are at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition.
Scottish Pounds Coins
Scottish coins — including the distinctively designed commemorative and circulating coins minted for Scotland — are accepted alongside banknotes. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for notes due to the additional handling costs involved, but we won’t turn them away as many exchanges do.
