I took a look at this. The hook doesn't seem to be well-supported by a direct citation. And I'm not liking the sentence "Though strictly not legal tender in Scotland, Scottish banknotes are nevertheless legal tender and are generally accepted throughout the United Kingdom." which seems to contradict itself. Are they legal tender or not? Andrew D. (talk) 12:42, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Whoops, it should read "are nevertheless legal currency". Fixed now. I've switched around the last paragraph a little bit too. How's that? Retroplum (talk) 13:29, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the updates, which seem to resolve those issues. Some more copy-editing may be required as I noticed a minor spelling error just now but that's no big deal and so we're good to go. Andrew D. (talk) 17:02, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
