Source please because you have clearly misunderstood the Scottish system. It would indeed be discriminatory if the situation you describe was the one used but it is based on domicile and not place of birth. Granted it is not helped by the media using shortcuts such as 'the Scots' and 'the English' but it is worth remembering that the Scottish Parliament represents those who live in Scotland, not those who happened to be born here.

having had a quick "google" (our children are both finished uni), and setting aside EU students meantime, I understand that if you have lived in Scotland for 3 years then you are at present entitled to free tuition in Scotland.

A Scottish resident who studies outside Scotland will be liable to pay the full fees of the institution, but will be entitled to a loan to pay these fees.

So misinformation seems to be rife.
