If there were specifically English and Scottish banks who treated the other country as being as foreign as mainly Europe, this would be very bad. It can be very expensive/difficult for customers in the UK to have foreign currency bank accounts. And if you don't have a foreign currency bank accounts, making/getting payments in currency can involve unpleasant charges.

I was going to have to pay a charge of approximately four times the amount that I actually wanted to pay in order to pay a small cancellation charge for a German hotel booking until I managed to get my Dad (who lives in France) to pay it for me from his Euro-denominated account there.
