Yes, as some small businesses are reluctant to accept Scottish or Ulster notes as difficult to then persuade future customers and/or suppliers to take them.

However, larger businesses (local Tesco has never quibbled when I have proffered an Ulster or Scottish banknote) and the high street banks quite happy to take them.
