Yes , but the parties in question should be you and the company running
the shop, not you and girl behind the till. The company will know that
scottish notes are legal tender but unfortunately people on the shop floor
sometimes get confused. Or are just plain thick.

a) they're not legal tender (in England & Wales and NI)

b) even if they are legal tender, then it wouldn't matter: she can
still refuse to accept it

c) I would expect the policy of the shop to be something along the
lines of "if you are uncertain about a notes validity, do not
accept it".

In short: if someone rejects a scottish note, in a part of the
country where they're not particularly common, they're being perfectly
reasonable.
