From the Bank of England.
Bank of England notes are the only banknotes that are legal tender in England and Wales. United Kingdom coinage is legal tender, but not in unlimited amounts for coins below £1. Scottish and Northern Ireland banknotes, and Jersey, Guernsey, Manx and Gibraltar coinage and banknotes are not legal tender in
England and Wales. However, they are not illegal under English law and creditors and traders may accept them if they so choose.

The Banks of England produces and prints British Pounds which are legal tender through out England and Wales. Scottish banks notes are not legal tender however most places in Scotland accept them and a few places in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Part of the reason why the Bank of England never changed its name was because it was never merged. The English Parliament and Crown Merged however the Bank of Scotland was not set up for the same purpose of raising funds for the State and could not there fore be merged with the Bank of England which was.

They are legal tender, but some places just drive me crazy by not accepting them. I used to have loads of problems when I lived in Scotland (I am from N Ireland) and the Scottish wouldn't accept the N Ireland notes and then you went to England and they wouldn't accept either of them - very very frustrating!
Sterling is sterling!

Northern Ireland and Scottish notes are legal tender in the UK.
Though some shops don't accept them even though they should.

Yes, but some smaller shops in the UK don't accepted (when they should).
If you have some but what to change them back to Bank of England notes, just go to a bank and they will swap the notes for you.
