so what happens if i go into a restaurant in England and try and pay the bill of say 40 with 2 Scottish twenties?
if the owner doesn't like it is it just his tough luck? he can't try and force me to pay in English notes?

Interesting question as Scottish Notes are not legal tender in England either. Does a debt exist now?
So what happens if you go into a restaurant and when the bill comes you find you've, er, forgotten your wallet at home?
Yes, if the meal has been consumed prior to payment.

Some years ago I was at a new restaurant where they didn't yet have credit card facilities set up, I'd left my cheque book at home, didn't have enough cash and the nearest cash machine was miles away. The manager apologised fo r the lack of CC facility and asked me just to send a cheque* when I got home , and waved aside my offer of name and address. I'm glad to hear it's still going!

You will still owe him £40. You would have to come to some agreement.
Other side of the coin...........you go into a Scottish Restaurant and try to pay with either Scottish or Bank of England notes! Same thing as currently in Scotland there is no such thing a Legal Tender notes (there was up to the £1 BoE note was scrapped).

The law in Scotland is different. The restaurant would have to accept them.
There was a case where it was argued that notes were not legal tender. The judge said "You've gotta take the notes. It's what we commonly refer to as money."
