    Not at all as it is correct. Can't be doing with being called English, though.

    Of course I don't mind being called British - I am British and living in Scotland.

    I am British so no it would not bother me.  But if someone asked my nationality I would most definitely say Scottish rather than British.

    British by birth, Scottish by grace of God.

    I am SCOTTISH, not British and certainly not English as some seem to think that the UK is another name for England.

    No more than the English, Welsh and Northern Irish being British.

    No. This is because there is universal compulsory education in all parts of the UK, and the location of Scotland, at the North end of the Island of Britain has been fixed since the Silurian period about 440 million years ago.

  • The Highland Scots have more right to be called British than the English. They are part of the Celtic people who inhabited these islands when Julius Caesar called them the British. The English and Lowland Scots are more recent immigrants from Germany and Scandinavia.
