The only legal tender in the UK is bank of England notes but the 4 scottish and the 2 Northern Irish banks notes (which may be printed by the bank of Ireland) are exchanged under normal custom but are promissary notes. I would recommend visiting a bank; preferably the Bank of Ireland in Edinburgh or Glasgow if he has any problems.

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.

Bank of Ireland Notes are only accepted through lodgements to banks etc... Ireland has been using the Euro currency for a number of years.
Hope this helps

No. Ireland is on the Euro, unless it was issued in Ulster, that is. If it was issued in Ulster, then it's legal tender in the UK, just like a Clydesdale Bank note from Scotland would be in London.

they stopped being legal tender a couple of years ago when republic of Ireland moved to the Euro they were worth less than sterling pound. if he knows th shop keeper and made a comment at the time take it back. he has been screwed but not sure if it is illegal to pass this currency worth contacting a bank but if they do exchange it he will be charged.
otherwise pass it off in a dark pub somewhere

If the note contains the words pounds sterling it is legal tender.
I have used such notes in Scotland recently.

money from northern ireland is still stirling so u can use it in scotland but obviously southern ireland is on the euro so there is no more irish money in circulation there. if in doubt just ask the back, maybe they can exchange it for u .
