I doubt anyone could spot a good forgery of a bank of england note without

It wouldn't have to be a good forgery of a scottish note. I reckon
you can design your own series of notes from a fictional scottish
bank (say, the Royal Edinburgh Bank) and a fair portion of English
folk wouldn't be able to tell you it's a fake.

And that's exactly why many retailers will be unhappy accepting the
notes.

With BoE notes, it at least has to look like a BoE note!
