He point blank refused to accept the note, saying that he could not use it round here...

We ain't bothered, we are looking at the bigger picture, that is why we sent down agent Brown and I must say he is doing a wonderful job.

Scots banknotes are regarded as acceptable currency, if a vendor doesn't want to take them in payment of a debt they're perfectly entitled to refuse and insist on Bank of England notes or coin.

I usually turn down Scottish banknotes if they are offered to me in change in a shop or whatever. Not because I have anything against them personally, but because I can't be bothered with the hassle from other people who won't accept them when I try to pay for something. Which I realise is just self-perpetuating, but it's better to be prepared.
I usually turn down damaged notes for the same reason, like if they have a tear or a bit of sellotape or are just really flimsy from wear. I've had people refuse to take those sort of notes, so I try to avoid getting hold of them in the first place. It's all a matter of avoiding hassle later.
Maybe the cabbie has the same policy.

I stayed in a hotel in Venezuala a few years ago and you could get a better exchange rate on Scottish pounds than you got on English ones.
I also used to work in Glasgow during the week and then spend the weekends in deepest South Wales and used to often find rural places in South Wales wouldn't touch jock money.

Legal Tender isn't a really useful term...
Legal tender or forced tender is payment that cannot be refused in settlement of a debt denominated in the same currency by virtue of law. Bank of England notes are the only banknotes that are legal tender in England. Scotish notes are not considered legal tender, however are not illegal under English law and traders/creditors may accept them if they choose.
