Scottish sterling acceptable?

Just a quick question that I relly hope someone can help with. Going to Bansko on 14th Jan (woohoo) and after much delibertaing decided to take Sterling and exchange it there. Is Scottish Sterling going to be an issue? Or should I try to obtain some English sterling? Any help much appreciated.

I seem to remember when I was last in Bulgaria (99) they wouldn't accept Scottish notes. I think I've seen something to that effect on the various websites I've been looking at the last few days too. If I were you I'd take English to be on the safe side

Scottish notes aren't legal tender anywhere. Including Scotland... I'm flying from Glasgow via Stansted so will be stocking up while on English soil.

the banks will not accept scottish notes nor any notes which are damaged.can you not draw out at an atm there ? you will get a better rate of exchange and there are plenty.

Yeh could just withdraw out of atm but saw a message on here refering to another message saying atm's werent working. Thanks for all your help, hopefully can get hands on some english sterling and will be able to get money out when there. Cheers!
