It's legal tender. You should be able to use it anywhere in the UK.
We in Scotland still use one pound notes.

Bank notes issued by any bank other than The Bank of England are NOT legal tender in England.
That means Scottish and N. Irish Bank Notes are NOT legal tender in England.
Banks will usually change them for you though.

Bank of England notes are legal tender throughout the UK, Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes are not, but as has been said, they can be changed at banks.
The old white fiver was an impressive note, though they were phased out in 1957. You can still buy them for about ?120, which given inflation since then means they must have pretty well held their value.
