“And openly state I am British and live in Britain.”
I’ve never known a Scotsman to claim to be British.
I suggest you meet more Scotsmen.
BTW, I assume you know that Britain and England are not the same. Britain is Scotland, England, Wales and NI. So I am Scottish and British and proud to be both.
70% of Scots want to remain within the UK, 70% value the union with the rest of Britain (Wales, NI, England) and reject nationalist ideology.
