Technichally, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank and Bank of England are all note issuing banks, so any money printed on them is legal.
Despite this, English places still refuse them. Based on the country they come from, they are rejecting them. This is indirect Racial discrimination. On that note, their refusing is illegal.
It is just as likely that a forger can copy an English note as a Scottish one.
If a store refuses your note, ask them why. If they say it is because it is Scottish, ask them "Are you claiming that these notes are not good enough for you because they are scottish". If they say yes, they have just admitted Indirect Racial Discrimination, so tell them you will go to the police for racial discrimination.
I don't tend to acctually go to the police, as ussually the embarressment of them realising their racism is enough to scare them to accept it, or that I just avoid the job altogether.
True story: My Family and I once went to a cafe in Southern England, and ordered up about £25-£30 food for lunch (2 adults, 3 kids, and this was some time ago). They went to the work of cooking the toasties, the soup and all the rest of it, and then declined our Scottish notes. We walked out, serves them right, £30 food written off for a racial insult.
The Cafe a few doors down were ok to take them, and we enjoyed a lunch there instead.

Yes it is legal tender. Some shops in England refuse to accept it as they believe it has a different value which is rubbish.
I was refused and the reason they gave was that there was a fraud spate in the area using Scottish notes. I went to the bank and they confirmed this and changed the notes for me. But legally they cannot refuse if the notes are genuine. They are not allowed to discriminate.

Bank notes issued in Scotland can be used in the UK, but you may find that some places in the South are reluctant to take them. In the North (e.g. Newcastle) they will accept them.
