Not in Scotland it ain't.     The *Scottish* pound is still available in
crisp green and multihued note form - easily transferrable to wallet and
pocket and absolutely no different in value to the English pound.

The Scottish banks took account of their customers' preferences and
continued to print 'em, much to their credit and my gratitude.
