I have always seen Scotland as a region rather than a country, crossing the border into Scotland the architecture, culture etc do not change drastically if at all, the accent is different but so it is between Cheshire and Lancashire etc. I think that Scotland is basically a continuation of northern England in most aspects and even a lot of Northerners would identify more with Scotland than the south.

It is certainly more of a country than Wales.

Unlike Wales, Scotland actually maintained its own legal and educational systems even before being granted its own Parliament, plus said Parliament has more powers than its Welsh equivalent. Further, the Brexit vote shows a greater divergence between England and Scotland than England and Wales.

Perhaps but working class Scots don't strike me as being pro immigration, if anything they would be more against it, if anything the dislike of the English in Scotland is more about the dislike of London and the prosperous commuter belt of the south east, I don't think they dislike Lancashire, Devon or Yorkshire.

I think they do, I have read comments from Scots online and much of the stuff directed against England is basically about London and apparently the south east too taking most of the funds, many Scots seem to have a neutral or positive view of Newcastle and Yorkshire etc.

England is my city and Scotland is a region.
