The currency of Scotland is the GBP Pound (£) and is accepted throughout the United Kingdom. One pound is comprised of 100 pence and coins can be obtained in 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 denominations. Bank notes are commonly divided into £5, £10, £20 and £50 amounts. Pounds are also referred to as "Quid". Here is a picture of some of the pounds and pence we use here in Aberdeen.
In this picture you can see the 20, 10 and 5 bank notes front and back.
From left to right: 1 pence, 2 pence, 5 pence

From left to right: 1 Pound, 2 Pounds
Notice that there are no 1 Pound bills like the US 1 Dollar. Here in Aberdeen we use a coin. I have lots of those always floating around in my purse!
On Wednesday the boys and I baked Sugar Cookies from scratch after school and boy did we have a mess in the kitchen, flour was everywhere! They managed to use every single cookie cutter we had too and there are probably 25 of them. It was a lot of cleaning but we had a fun afternoon. Yesterday the boys and I built a "Pirate Ship" with some blocks they received for Christmas. Notice how Trent put the army tank on top! Love these boys and their imaginations.
