scottish notes
« on: September 01, 2009, 08:47:16 AM »
Hi coming to Kalkan on 23rd Sept - been searching through posts for any info on Scottish currency - will it be accepted or do I need to go to bank and get English ones before I come?
Thanks

Hi Anne

afraid Scottish notes are difficult if not nigh impossible to exchange in Turkey. We always change for English notes before we arrive. Cash points at Scottish airports usually only give out English notes so you can withdraw sterling that way or my local HSBC cash point also only dispenses English notes so if you have one near you could check that out.

Just noticed you're from East Kilbride and there's a Nat West cash point at Asda in Hamilton which also only dispenses English notes so if you're near there at any time maybe worth withdrawing cash there. The other machine I mentioned is an HSBC at Morrissons in Bellshill.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for all that - thought they would be looked on as 'funny money' just checking.

Hi Anne
Yes quite near you, I live in Motherwell so just over the border in North Lanarkshire.

I'm sure you'll love it. I've been going to Kalkan for around 14/15 years and try to go twice a year. Was out in July and back again on 7th October and cannot wait.
Weather here has been atrocious this summer but isn't it always >:( might not be cold but the constant grey drizzle is just so depressing
