    I always say I am scottish ..not british. And I'm sure most english folks would describe themselves as english not british too. Its only when it comes to the media that the terms scottish/english/british are interchangeable depending on the situation ;)

  • I definitely let them know I'm Scottish and not English, although coming from the town I am and speaking with a "Galloway Irish" accent I sometimes have to let them know I'm not Irish either!
