Eddie I just spoke to Alper at ING he does not know any banks that will accept Scottish money, he did say some of the change shops will but give a much lower rate.

Scottish notes in Turkey are like the proverbial "fart in a spacesuit" - the only chance he may have is to visit Gurbuz at Onur silver (opposite Joseph's Bar) as he sometimes can change a bit, which he then changes for Scottish people heading home.

There was a Scottish bar in Hisaronu that changed notes.  Not sure if it is still there now.

I once offered to buy Scottish notes back with TL at the rate they sold for
(tongue in cheek) from an exchange office in Hisaronu.
Needless to say they declined!
