Since there's never anyone on the currency forums, is there any value to these...

Just from reading the title I thought you meant was there any value to the currency forum itself.
At least face value if you are visiting the UK. OK, so that wasn't very helpful.
Sell them to another collector is the best option. I don't have the catalog for these (and there is more than one catalog) but my gut feeling is that the note with Sir Walter Scott is a lot better than the note with the Queen. There is a lot to like about that Scotland design.
FWIW, You can't casually spend a paper bank note in England anymore. All the notes are printed on polymer (not totally sure about the 100 pound). You haven't been able to readily spend a one pound note for more than 30 years (long-ago replaced by a one pound coin).
I know the UK govt is very aggressive with demonitizing obsolete coins. The Bank of England might provide some kind of chance to exchange old notes but you probably have to go to specific branch, etc.
As for the Bank of Scotland note, i am pretty sure they never demonitize them.
Agree that it is best to sell to a collector field whatever premium there might be.
I know nothing about paper money. When my my father-in-law passed he left quite an interesting collection of paper currency and coins that he collected while serving in the Merchant Marines during WWII. He had a good eye and all of the coins were mostly high end AU-58 in my opinion. Au-62's? Lots of Peruvian, Chilean, Bolivian, and Australian coins. I kept all of those. But he also had many, many paper notes from Iran and places in North Africa. I think? They were very interesting and colorful but they held no interest for me. So.......I sold them to a young man who had a struggling coin shop in town. He was really excited about them. I think his focus was more on paper money than coins. I know I got ripped but I didn't care. Just trying to help him out. He went out of business shortly thereafter. Now......PLEASE......I do not want to find out that Iranian and North African paper money from WWII is worth a fortune. I often suspect that the young dealer flipped that paper and with the profit took early retirement in his newly purchased villa somewhere in the south of France with a couple of super-models. He disappeared SO FAST after the deal. So.......if you know something that I don't........I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
Hydrant, are you telling us you got hosed?

Their market value (retail) is per Krause CV. This is the premier price guide for World Currency. These are retail prices for ungraded (raw) notes. Graded notes may be worth considerably more in Unc grades say CU 64-68 depending on the issue. I have worked on matrix pricing projects in this area based on pop and grade.
Here you go for OP Notes:
Scotland 10 Pounds 2001 Pick# 120 Market value $40 Unc, FV circ
England 1 Pound Pick# 374g (1974-77) Market Value $10 Unc $ 4 VF
I am active in World and US Currency. This includes experience with CSA, Obsoletes, and USA National Banknotes both large and small size.
The quid is worth a quid, BoE will redeem it for a quid. The tenner is worth about a baker's dozen in dollars, ie a wee bit over face value. Scots dosh comprises only about 2% of circulating currency in the all of the UK. In Scotland easy to deal with nae so much in England where some might refuse it - and can. Curiously Scots dosh was purchased at a 1% premium in Parisian banks years ago - must have had easier exchange procedures than BoE did.
I was figuring on you chiming in on the Scots.

Nice artistic notes.
Nice notes... I recall years ago my visits to Scotland while in the Navy, and England during my business career. I believe I still have a couple of coins from the earlier period...no currency though. No idea of values but I like the designs. Cheers, RickO
